The traveling industry has gone through some tough times during the Pandemic. With restrictions changing all the time & Covid-19 cases rising worldwide, most have not been able to travel since the start of the Pandemic. We have now been in this Pandemic for two years, but have things improved for those in the travel industry.
A local Travel Advisor, Hannah Travel, shares her business experiences through the Pandemic.
“Well, the first year it was very slow because people thought that all the airports were closed. But this wasn’t entirely true. There were at the beginning some closed, yes. But all the flights were canceled very slowly. I believe it was in June 2020 our flights once again started taking off from the Canadian airports.”
Hannah continued to discuss how although flights & trips were available, most decided not to travel. This was primarily because of the quarantine period you would have to go through when returning to the country. For most, this just was not realistically possible due to their jobs. So, the decision was made to stay home for the past two years.
After two years, with restrictions lifting, Hannah shares how she is doing.
“Actually, from six, seven months ago, everything went back to normal. People are booking for their holidays again, whether it be March break or spring break; everything is back to normal now.”
After two years, Hannah shared she is relieved that the restrictions are lifting and business is picking up. However, Hannah has specific concerns regarding other countries’ restrictions as they are constantly changing. But, she has a tip that should keep that from becoming an issue.
“We tell them before booking, search for restriction information regarding the resort or places they want to go. Also, check a few days before departure to make sure. Always check what restrictions are involved with the destination because they are always changing.”
Hannah Travel is located at 25 Oxford St W in London, ON.
