This week, we would like to know your thoughts on the necessity of COVID vaccinations for cautious travellers. Let us know by participating in our poll on the right-hand side of our newsfeed, or share your thoughts in the comments below.
Do you believe a COVID-19 vaccine is necessary before people consider travelling?
- Yes, especially since many source markets have been hard hit by a second wave.
- Perhaps, which is why we need to emphasise the health and safety protocols we have in place.
- No. Many of our source markets are resilient and will travel whether there are vaccines or not.
