When Will the World Return to Traveling Normally?

No one can accurately forecast a timeline of when exactly the world will be back to traveling normally. Experts must consider many factors: research, development and distribution of vaccines, the speed at which the current pandemic can be contained and reduced, statements from the World Health Organization (WHO), international government policies, the general public's willingness to travel and many more. That said, sooner or later, there will be a shift in the right direction.

In the interest of collective health and safety, in the weeks and months ahead, travelers and businesses everywhere must play their part.

What's Next for the Travel Industry?

In the short and long term aftermath, domestic and international tourism could trend upward for several months. In fact travelers may be more inclined to travel than ever before. For further insight into why the travel industry will eventually recover, consider the following list of events. All heavily impacted travel and large portions of the world, including terrorist attacks, volcanic ash clouds, SARS and Swine flu.

While these events certainly affected travel, many of them weren't for very long. Time and time again, travel brands have showcased their ability to grow through setbacks. They've learned, adapted, recovered and evolved.

The travel industry has slowed down, but the urge to travel is still strong. Countries and industries will return to normal. Some time in the near future, the world will look back on this time in history as nothing more than a distant memory.
