Countries, all over the world are now readying themselves to open their economies, with out waiting for a post-covid era. The requirement of ‘living with the virus’ poses greater challenge for travel and tourism sector than any other economic sector .
In the new tourism regime of ‘live-with-covid’,
the ‘Government’ has to prepare itself, to formulate and regulate new travel protocol; to create health-safe travel infrastructure , and to launch public awareness drive to inculcate confidence among travellers, about their health safety.
‘Tourism Industry’, on the other hand has to prepare itself, to follow end-to-end health protocols in the entire chain of distribution ; to provide contact less services through extensive use of digital, information and communication technologies; for the changing dynamics of new demand-supply order and to explore new opportunities.
And the ‘Traveller ‘has to become a more ‘Responsible Traveller ‘ than ever before, for his own health safety and in the interest of speedier recovery and sustainability of the sector.
It was a pleasure to participate in the Webinar, organised by Foundation For Aviation & Sustainable Tourism (FAST) on the subject “Preparing Today for Travel & Tourism Tomorrow’’.
My thoughts on the subject are recorded in the attached video film.
