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.

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?

Canada is a country many people would love to visit, and why wouldn’t they? It’s a year-round destination with many bucket list adventures such as the polar bear migration in Churchill, skiing in Whistler, Jasper National Park, Banff, Niagara Falls, Vancouver, Toronto … the list goes on and on.

Travellers from some countries will need a Visa, and the Canadian government introduced an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) in August 2015 to make the process easier. It applies only to foreign nationals from visa-exempt countries when they are either flying into Canada or merely transiting via air.
