We’re going to travel less, but we will travel better. The coronavirus pandemic might lead us to a more responsible way of traveling. 😊

Once restrictions have been lifted and the travel industry identifies their new standard sanitizing protocols, we’ll be craving healthy experiences, deep immersions in nature, and safe escapes for quality time with our dear loved ones. We might not want to stray so far from home at first - minimizing the time we’ll spend on airports and planes.

Airbnb like other vacation rental companies are proposing new cleaning protocols and guidelines, including using masks and gloves when cleaning and building in a 24-hour waiting period between guests.

As we look forward to planning our next holidays, let’s try to promote traveling in a meaningful way and helping the local economy as much as possible. 🥥 🌴

AN INCREASE IN DOMESTIC TRAVEL AND NON-FLYING TRIPS

Flying is almost certainly going to be more difficult, unpleasant and expensive. Many are increasingly looking at car trips for their vacation plans so somewhere near your home will be a good spot for your next escape.

KEEPING IT SAFE AND EASY WITH STAYCATIONS
