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?

Extreme weather conditions can happen anywhere in the world at any time, but would you know how to survive a natural disaster?

It’s devastating for residents living within a country, but as travellers, any one of us could be visiting somewhere when a natural disaster occurs. 

When we were in the Lombok earthquake on 5 August, we had no idea what to do, we just tried to think rationally and survival mode kicked in. When a tsunami warning was in place, for this we knew what to do – get to high ground. 

This post isn’t intended to scare, but to educate us all on what to do when faced with circumstances we are unfamiliar with. I haven’t endured all the situations within this post, if I had, I’m unsure if I would be the luckiest person still alive, or the unluckiest to have been in these disasters in the first place! So I spoke with my travel blogger friends to create this post. 
​
I hope we are all able to learn how to survive a natural disaster.

​If you are a lover of nature, there is nothing better than being in the great outdoors, especially when you are on holiday. Nothing beats exploring and experiencing the wonders of the world, and seeing wildlife in their natural habitat with your own two eyes is far more rewarding than watching it on a screen.

This article can’t even begin to cover all of the amazing options you have to choose from, so make sure you research thoroughly before you plan your trip away.

There are many different types of holiday you can book, but if you are unsure where to start, let us share with you three holidays for wildlife lovers.

Attending a festival should be part of everyone’s annual celebration. Why? Because they are just so much fun!

There are many different festivals held around the world throughout the year to suit every taste. Traditionally, festivals are a special day or period for a religious event or anniversary. They can also be an organised event such as a music festival, food festival, film festival or even a beer festival. Some are large involving thousands of people, others are small local gatherings. 

People travel the globe to attend these elaborate events, and often make it the sole purpose for their trip.  We have!

There are many festivals on my bucket list which I have yet to attend, so to help me compile this epic list of festivals around the world, I asked some awesome travel bloggers.

What a magnificent, diverse and eclectic list this is!

​Sydney, often mistaken for the capital of Australia, is a fantastic place to visit with kids. The bustling city has plenty to do for adults and kids of all ages, and it's super easy to find something more laid back to do too. Whether it's your first time in the city or you're making a returning visit, you should always be able to discover something new. Keeping the kids entertained in a city usually isn't too difficult, but Sydney makes it even easier. Anyone visiting Australia from elsewhere or residents who have decided to come and see Sydney can have a great time with little effort.

Before you head overseas, ensure you are getting the best exchange rates to make your money go further whilst you travel. If you are visiting from the UK for example, check the GBP to AUD conversion rates online prior to arriving in Australia.
