How travel will change after Coronavirus

-


The Coronavirus pandemic has changed the entire world, rather turned everything upside down in just a few weeks. No other industry took a hard hit like Travel by the pandemic. This resulted in huge losses across industries and areas like airlines, hotels, cruise lines, travel agencies, travel guides, etc. and thousands of workers in the industry have already if not will lose their jobs.

No matter how worst things may appear right now, we are certain that Coronavirus will change the future of travel positively. The following are a few things that travelers will look for and demand when choosing their post-corona destination.

Cleanliness, Hygiene, and Sanitation


Personal hygiene and public sanitation would the topmost concern of every post-corona traveler because if there's one thing we learned from the pandemic, that would be hygiene and sanitation. From airplanes to cruises to trains to busses to hotel rooms or glamping tents, sanitation and cleanliness would be a must. Due to this reason, we believe that at least during the immediate post-corona period, there will be a high demand for hotels over vacation rentals.

Airports and hotels will have to make hand sanitizers available everywhere for visitors and regularly disinfect hard surfaces using approved liquids. Most importantly when selecting accommodation, travelers will look for these precautions, therefore making this information available for travelers will be an advantage for hoteliers and other accommodation providers.

Meaningful tours


Post-corona travelers will pay attention to their itinerary and activities more than ever. One thing tour planners and travel agents should pay more attention to is that these people come after a long wait and looking to spend their time as meaningful as possible. Therefore key aspects like minimizing the wait time, setting the right expectations beforehand, avoid last-minute surprises, etc. must be well thought and communicated well before the arrival.

At the same time, travelers will look for knowledge more than ever. Knowledge is the only thing anyone has that no virus can take away. Guided tours with qualified guides, education on conservation and sustainability aspects would have higher demands in the future. And the charitable aspect is also important when it comes to planning a tour. There are many travelers out there who want to jump on a plane and travel to countries with low economies, just to help in any way they can to help those countries to get back on their feet.

Outdoor and nature


After spending a few months indoors under lockdown, travelers are dying to feel the warmth of the sun and chill in the wind. Organizations that operate outdoor adventures and safari companies will see a boost as soon as travel resumes. However travelers will still like to stick to themselves, their partners or families when they go out rather than getting mixed in the crowd. National parks will be on the top of high attractions. Tour operators have to understand this need and facilitate with whatever necessary for travelers to experience nature, the outdoors and organize activities that a family can take together.

In summary, the future of nature and outdoor tourism is promising, but owners and organizers must do everything possible to understand the post-corona mindset of travelers and do everything possible to give a safe and meaningful experience.

Leopards are solitary animals, and their mating behavior is a fascinating aspect of their biology. These powerful and stealthy predators have several unique behaviors that they use to attract mates and reproduce. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at leopard mating behavior and learn more about how these animals reproduce in the wild. Male leopards reach sexual maturity at around three years of age, while females become sexually mature at around two years of age. Once a male leopard reaches sexual maturity, he will begin to roam in search of a mate. Male leopards will mark their territory with urine, scratch marks, and use vocalizations to attract females. Female leopards are receptive to mating for a short period each year and will signal their readiness to males through vocalizations and scent marking. When a female leopard is ready to mate, she will allow a male to approach and will usually mate over several (4-5) days. Leopard mating is a brief but intense process, and f...
