The Covid 19 pandemic has essentially paralyzed the global economy. One of the first and most affected victims was the travel industry.

Since backpacking trips, honeymoon, gap years and family vacations are now put on hold in view of a global pandemic, it is difficult to predict what the future of travel will look like.

Given the uncertainty, one of the best things we can do is to stay positive. While a positive mentality is a good starting point, it is now more important than ever to come together as a wider travel community and to put this positive attitude into practice.

But what can we do?

How was Covid-19 trips influenced?

Well, the short answer is that trips are for the time being.

And rightly so.

Traveling in the current climate is both selfish and inappropriate. Even if there are no limit restrictions on you, trips to other countries contribute and increase the infection rate.

As a result. Travel was suspended, tour operators have lost their income, airlines ask for rescue packages to continue to fly, and the local tourism industry has to struggle.

It is certainly not a great time. And what is worse: Almost nobody knows when this Covid-19 album will be over.

As a blogger and travel photographer, my personal income was abruptly brought to a standstill.

In difficult times, however, it is easy to fall into the hing-actual Mir spiral of self-pity. The truth is that there are always people who are much worse than us.

This applies in particular to those of us who come from countries with strong social and economic support. While the large companies are bleeding, of course, it is the local Balinese tour guide and the Nepalese luggage rack and their families who feel the main load of this whole thing.

So what can we do as a travel community to support those who need the most urgent help and to emerge together at the other end?

We all sit in the same boat, so let's do our best to keep it over water. Below I listed a list of ideas and possibilities that we can all contribute.

1. Do not cancel, move

This is what many airlines, tour groups, transport organizers, hotels, etc. are demanding to avoid bankruptcy.

If it is possible for you, it is the best we can do to postpone our travel arrangements to a later date. Most companies offer "time flexible" or "open" tickets and bookings that can be used free of charge after expiry.

2. Request travel cuts

If you have booked a tour or bought a plane ticket, you may be able to request travel cuts to use it at a later date. This differs from "open" tickets, as they often have the opportunity to completely change the goal.

3. Buy gift cards

Whether for an upcoming birthday or a future solemn self -present, buying a gift card is a great way to make a contribution to the travel industry.

It is really a win-win situation. Your future trips will pay off and the companies will have the cash flow to keep your employees going until we defeat the pandemic.

4. Stay adventurous

In the absence of a better concept, they keep the "miracle lust" alive. Share earlier travel pictures on social media, buy travel books and magazines, read blogs and travel guides and look at travel vlogs!

Sharing, commenting and enjoying travel adherence helps to keep the creators afloat in these times. You will also find great travel ideas and inspiration for the Post-Covid travel boom!

5. Don't forget the little guys

As I have already mentioned, the people who really suffer are the local guides and business owners who live in places where tourism is one of the only income opportunities.

I am sure that we have hit all local legends that have made every effort to make your visit to your country unforgettable. Stay in contact with them, see whether you can support you financially if you are able to do so.

Book future travel plans with you and keep the positive.

So when can we travel again?

The truth is that nobody knows at that time. What we know with certainty is that travel will be back.

The good news is that the best estimate is that the tourism industry is expected to recover completely by 2023.

That may still appear far away, but we stay positive, we remain adventurous and all help to keep tourism and travel alive!
