“Travelers will now place more importance on safety and flexibility, hybrid meetings, health and wellness and appreciating nature. We must revive the connection with our travelers, inform them of our readiness to receive them when borders reopen, fully vaccinated, and ensure their safety with strict SOP while still providing a unique and memorable experience,’ he added.

“Instead of rushing back to the way things were before, find new core values, create new covid-safe attractions, make sure key touch points are safe and covid-ready, and manage tourism with technology,” said Doug Lansky, travel writer, tourism consultant and destination expert who will be a keynote speaker at TTLx Summit 2021.
