Travel has been undeniably turned upside down because of Covid. Especially now that there is a new variant, the restrictions from 2020 seem to be circling back – and that is affecting our daily lives again, let alone outdoor activities and travel plans.
While the situation has forced most of us to stay home and work remotely even, it has also prompted new industry standards and trends in travel. So yes, there are so many things that you need to include in your usual travel plans before this pandemic happens.
- You must have a destination shortlist
For sure, you have more than one destination that you would love to visit. Given that there is a pandemic, one may be better than another for practical reasons. Also, it is really important to have a list of the places and know the health protocols so you know what are the do’s and dont’s when you get there.
- Budget – you should set it and bringing extra cash with you is a must as well.
Traveling requires a lot of money or quite little, depending on how you planned it of course. It’s really important to know the budget scope but an extra penny should be included in your plans.
- It is really a necessity nowadays to have travel insurance.
Not really mandatory but it is an advantage to all travelers to be insured. Even if you have booked your trip months ago, there are so many uncertainties that can happen. A cancellation due to covid restrictions on your destination or you need to undergo quarantine – there are so many insurances out there that give you the option to cancel and get some reimbursement no matter what the reason is.
Given the continued uncertainty in travel this year, the best advice we can give you is “it is always better to be sure and safe, than sorry”. I hope this guide helped a bit with your planning.
