Here are the tips for the travelers who wish to travel Post Covid-19

Ø  Do not immediately plan an International Trip. You may not be completely aware of the situation on the ground. Some countries may have hid the actual situation and may be portraying that everything is fine. So till the time you are not sure about the actual facts avoid International Travel.

Ø  Make a travel plan within your own country. Since you are well informed about your country, it is safe for you to travel. Furthermore, you are also contributing to revive the travel industry and economy of your own country.

Ø  Post Covid-19 you should chose a Green Zone as your first travel destination and the place which has unlocked the hospitality sector, hotels, transport etc. However before you reach there make sure you are aware of the unlock policies and norms of that place, whether it is Social distancing, or wearing a mask or not assembling in large numbers.

Ø  Also if you are still in a Red Zone wait for the situation to improve before you make a travel plan. The destination may also not give you entry in that condition.

Ø  If you have decided to travel means you have some extra money which you are willing to spend and you can afford a holiday. Make sure you pay the genuine price of whatever services you are availing. Be it a hotel room, or a taxi or food etc. Remember that these are the people who haven’t earned a single penny during the lockdown.

Ø  Do not litter, respect the nature and the place you are traveling. You love this place therefore you have chosen that place to travel. It is your responsibility to keep that place beautiful.

Traveling is an amazing experience and helps a person rejuvenate and relive stress. If you are missing those days don’t worry, this too shall pass and the day is not far when you will get to fulfill your bucket list.
