Dateline: France, Rhone River. 20 Aug 2020

What’s Happening With The future of Travel This Week?

Since the beginning of COVID 19, our team has been bringing you a weekly update of the future of travel, created a community for our Nomads and for our stays. These groups are for you to have conversations about where to go next as a nomad swap ideas and help each other. For the stays (gite owners, hostel, we created a telegram group to discuss different ways to assist nomads, improve business and bring new business to your town and company.

What Mark covers in this weeks chat:

The Future of Travel – 20 August

Here is some of what is covered:

• Croatia, Ecuador and Ghana achieve Safe Travels Stamp from WTTC which means no isolation if you arrive with a test done in the past 72 hours
• Italy allows an isolation exemption for people coming in from Croatia with a negative test too
• Some uptick in the COVID 19 numbers growing means areas that we were deemed safe before now require isolation – visits to the Balearic Islands of Spain now require isolation in Germany
• Only the last month there was a hugely successful charter flight to Balearic islands from Germany of 12,000 travellers
• You must go into quarantine for as long as you don’t have a negative test result.
• “Montenegro will open its borders with Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Western European countries from tomorrow,”
• A PCR negative test or a serological ELISA would most likely be needed to enter Montenegro.
• Last month we saw hotel room prices crash €1500 – €300
• Serbia rates went up for holiday apartments as no-one could leave the country
• Qantas now saying no international until July 2021
• The good news about travel
• More properties are opening again – 56% in the US from a recent study
• Vaccines getting close in some countries
• Even Australia hinting as a mandatory vaccine for the population and visitors
• MUST BE FAST TO GRAB WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY
• Another Aussie left Bali and instead of $3000 and 14 isolation chose Belarus for his next destination
• Be fast and grab the opportunities
• Be safe
• Open-air locations still winning
•  Open-air restaurants

Travel Quote of the day

We love to inspire you to explore more of the world and to go off the beaten track so while Paris is always a good idea so is the Loire Valley and the Rhone-Alps where there is a lot to explore and an adventure playground!
