Outlook for Luxury: Holiday With A Purpose
Nature and wellness - and social distancing - may well drive post Covid-19 holiday trends
EVEN AS AIRLINES chalk up losses, cut back or cancel flights totally, there is still cautious optimism that wanderlust will return before the end of 2020.
Indeed, in a recent survey of over 6,000 people in the Asia-Pacific region by travel search site Skyscanner, over half believe it will be safe to travel internationally later in the year.
"This optimism is reassuring, and we believe that travel will thrive in a post-coronavirus world. The desire to connect with family and friends overseas or the desire to explore the world will only increase," says Paul Whiteway, Skyscanner's senior director for APAC.
