In this sense, a clear protocol is required to keep both travelers and participants free from the danger of contagion.
Although it is too early for the full return of the tourism industry, the UNWTO (World Tourism Organization) ensures that domestic tourism will be the most viable option for the reactivation of the sector.

Domestic Tourism

This safe post-pandemic tourism will allow better entry control and even follow-up in case of outbreaks. For example, in Peru, where they still have a total border closure, it is an opportunity to encourage people to get to know their own culture and enjoy the charms that have fascinated millions of foreign tourists.

At least until travel restrictions ends and authorities consider it prudent to allow foreign tourists to enter the country. Although many are eager to take a break and visit the wonderful destinations in the world, for now, we must remember that it is best to take shelter.

Tourist planning

Meanwhile, many travel agencies are offering future promotions and offers with the aim of offering a safe tourism experience. Due to this, a good option is to know the offers of the tourism market in the future and keep an open mind until the situation is regularized.

Local tourism

Although many tourist companies used to set their sights on international travelers, specialists recommend that they also bet on experiences aimed at local tourists, at least until international flights are restored.

Likewise, it is recommended to know the sanitary protocols of each airline and the innovative measures they offer to the traveler. So that, both travelers and the agency are facing a mishap.

Different destinations in small groups

Large and crowded cities like New York or Paris will be less visited because of the vulnerability that represents the spread of the virus, at least for a period of time.

In this sense, agencies are recommended to turn their eyes to natural landscapes in open spaces, since it is a perfect option for the current situation. Small groups and short trips will be key to avoid crowding, taking into account that it will benefit the health of the participants.

Sustainability

The reduction of visitors to the main tourist attractions will sustainably benefit world tourism. Which will be reflected in the mutual care between human communities and the environment.

This type of innovative measure will contribute positively to the industry since for some years it has been recommended to reduce the number of tourists in the same attraction. Also, this will help to have more respect and care for the environment.

Productivity in the Peruvian Amazon

During the crisis, indigenous people in the Amazon remind that the Amazon forest is not only an ecological habitat with a wealth of natural resources, but also a social and cultural space. In April, the Interethnic Association for the Development of Peruvian Forests (AIDESEP), stated that some essential productive sectors for Peruvian economy include activities in their territories such as forest and agricultural services. Weeks later, it was confirmed that they would be part of the «Comando Covid» along with the Ministries of Health, Culture and Development. Its cultural richness is another key component for the Amazon economic stability of these communities known for their hospitality and nice treatment to foreign people.

Many communities in the Peruvian jungles are aware that international tourism is one of the fundamental fuels for their territories. One of the Amazon destinations with the most recognized communities is Puerto Maldonado. This city delights tourists blending the amazing scenery and the traditional habits which is a new cultural experience. Although, the culture of their lifestyle may seem unusual for some, the heartwarming welcomes and the exuberant landscapes are proofs of the importance of tourism.

Indigenous communities should be included

The communities of the Peruvian jungles have demanded to be included in the Government’s reactivation plan. Over the past decades, Peru has seen protests from local amazon community members in order to be recognized as well as their territories to be respected. Because of the influence of tourism and the productivity he reactivation of the Peruvian Amazon is a must to consider not just in benefit of the communities, but for the stability of their national economy.

Knowing new destinations as a therapy

Daily routines sometimes lead to frustration due to lack of motivation. In many ways, extra rewards, such as getting to know new places and cultures, are needed to reach professional goals. Higher levels of enthusiasm, confidence and happiness after stepping into a new place will be lead by a spiritual soar.

The sense of feeling identified with new people discovering new horizons is another clear possibility. While they all might share similarities, cultures shape them into individuals. Traveling outside the country allows the access to many cultures which give new mind mindchanging perspectives.

Being thankful is a constant principle everybody should keep in mind, although it may not be easy for some. After visiting a place where rest and relaxation are the only concerns, appreciating life turns easier. As the mind and soul can wander and think about all the good parts of life that wait when someone gets back home.

Depending the place and the company, what gives people to some people is not the same for everybody. Either if it is through adrenaline packed activities or enjoying a peaceful stay at cozy, heartwarming facilities, traveling changes lives in many ways. Both of these considerations blend in luxurious hospitality lodges and cruises to provide complete experiences for the mind, body and soul.

People’s Wellbeing

Also, these organizations recommend that the tourism post-COVID 19 response in the sector should be consistent and proportional to the virus for public health. In this sense, the industry should make a local risk assessment and have the support of all members of the value chain: public bodies, private companies, and tourists. This changes post-pandemic should help to the travel companies.

Conserving environmental resources and protecting biodiversity, respecting  the cultures of host communities and addressing the needs of visitors.

Adaptation, the key to success

As not many countries have fully opened their borders, national and international tourism will reactivate slowly but surely. This undefined wait time for the total recovery of the sector has been giving opportunities to rethink promotions and adjust promotion methods into new insights. These steps are:

• BECOMING NEEDS-FOCUSED RATHER THAN SERVICE-FOCUSED: Nowadays, vacationing needs to be seen as an experience, not as a product. Travel suppliers must keep in mind they can provide the escape of daily routine and even the meaning behind the effort of hard work.

• BUILDING A PROMOTION PLAN: To let everybody know you are back you have to be noticed using the right tools at the right time. Promoting packages, discounts and benefits makes an impact if it is consciously funneled and measured through digital and traditional platforms.

• REMAINING COHERENT: From the top to the bottom of the organization hierarchy, the main message concept has to be the same. If audiences were already keen to know about the commitment of travel providers, now the ones able to will be the only that can remain in the mind of the consumers behavior.

• EMPHASIZING SAFETY: Bringing out the new dispositions and measurements travel institutions implemented this year are a must. Constant displays care and integrity will never be too much in the short future; moreover, this insight sets a different value for external stakeholders that are interested not just on purchasing services but on creating strategic partnerships.

• SHOWING PASSION: Last but not least, clients look forward to the trip they plan with excitement, and agencies should be their biggest encouragers. Contagious enthusiasm and convincing conversations about wonderful destinations are essential in order to up your services.

The thrill of travel will never be gone!

This set of considerations redefine and expose the image of travel organizations and build stronger connections. The desire of travel is currently tamed but not gone and these short term actions are crucial to spark it up again.
