Are you planning a trip but are unsure which hotel to book? The hotel you choose is one of the most critical decisions to make with little room for compromise, especially now we are living a "new normal" after Coronavirus lockdown. For your health, you want to ensure your hotel is Covid-compliant.

Being proactive in your choice, carrying out research, and doing a comparative analysis will ensure you pick the right room for you. You may want a standard room with no TV, or a suite with fridge and seating options. Perhaps internet connectivity, complimentary breakfast or airport pick up is important.

When choosing your hotel, there are many things to take into consideration such as your travel budget, location, style, or personal needs. A hotel which initially offers a lower price may end up costing you more than a higher rated hotel which offers complimentary amenities.

To help you minimise your inconvenience, Feet Do Travel have provided practical advice with ten tips to help you booking the right hotel.

What is the future of travel after the Covid-19 Pandemic? How will the future of travel look post-lockdown? What will be the “new normal”? How will quarantine affect the tourist industry?

Will travel ever be the same?

The truth is, no one knows. There are many speculations, but as travel and tourism ground to a halt due to worldwide quarantine and lockdowns, everyone is wondering what to expect when the world begins a “new normal”. As restrictions are eased, die-hard travellers regain hope they can start thinking about when they can travel again. 

Travel as we knew it will have to change, at least in the immediate months/years after the novel Coronavirus until a vaccine is found. Life in general will be different, it has to be to ensure our health, and to hopefully stop a second wave/spike of Covid-19. As long as we continue to wear face masks in public, carry out regular hand washing/using alcohol sanitisers and physical/social distancing, the majority of us will be fine – however when we travel, we need to apply these same measures and more to ensure our continued safety.

Staycations, caravans, motorhomes, road trips, train travel, virtual travel - domestic travel will undoubtedly be on the rise post-quarantine, and this is the best way to give your economy a much needed boost after lockdown. International travel will still exist, but what precautions do you need to take? Will we see a rise in sustainable travel now that the reset button has been pressed?

The Plain of Jars is one of Laos’ great mysteries. These large stone structures, which are scattered over a vast area in Phonsavan, part of the Xieng Khouang plain in the Lao Highlands, are shrouded in myths and local legend. No one truly knows their origin, but there are many theories as to why they were built and what they were used for.

Dating back to the Iron Age (500 BC to AD 500), they appear in clusters of between a few and several hundred, vary in height between 1-3 metres (3-10 feet), and weigh over a tonne each.
