Around the world, travel restrictions are being gradually reduced. In recent weeks, many countries have allowed domestic travel to resume. Some have resumed - or announced plans to resume - international travel through the formation of "travel bubbles" and "travel corridors", where the border is being opened only to visitors from certain countries.

While these signs of recovery are encouraging, the reality is that the travel landscape is different than it was a few months ago. As countries continue to grapple with controlling the spread of the virus, in many ways the travel experience will likely be less spontaneous than the epidemic. Business trips require companies and their traveling employees. Here are some things to consider:

Safety requirements at airports and flights

Many countries and airlines have made it mandatory for passengers to wear masks in airport and on-board flights, so it is a good idea to keep one handy.

Healthcare resources in some cities may be overwhelmed by corona viruses, making it difficult to obtain medical help. Again, it is advisable to do your research before traveling.

Insurance

For policies issued after a certain date, many travel insurance providers are no longer covering events arising from the outbreak of COVID-19, such as flight cancellations and medical aid. Contact your insurance provider to find out what your policy does and does not cover.

Accommodation Options

Most major hotel chains have announced initiatives to increase the level of cleanliness and hygiene on their properties, including cleaning guest rooms and public spaces with recommended cleaning agents, hand-cleaners Establishment of stations, and providing contactless check-In and check-out.

Political / Civil Situation

In some places, lockdowns and other security measures imposed by governments have resulted in civil unrest and protests. Travelers should stay on top of the news so that they can stay out of harm's way.
