You know the phrase, "One monkey don't stop no show"? Well, the 'monkey' that is COVID-19 has.
Fun fact: Travel and tourism contributed 2.9 trillion U.S. dollars to the global economy in 2019.
Tourism has become the world's fastest-growing industry and employs more people worldwide than any other industry. There are millions of people relying on this sector for survival, especially women and individuals from marginalized communities.
Revenue from tourism also helps to improve local neighborhoods by generating funds for roads, water supplies, internet access and waste disposal to attract more tourism and lift their communities out of poverty.
Once restrictions are lifted, travel will be on everyone's to-do list. Creating future travel plans will assist in helping the travel industry once the world had some time to heal. We are actively planning our 2021 curated trips, and launching soon.
We continue to encourage you to practice social distancing and take steps to help flatten the curve.
Stay safe!
