DH is Swedish and still has family abroad which we go and see three times a year during school holidays and half terms. This year, we have only been once in the February half term and have decided not to go back to visit his family even once travel is up and running. I keep reading reports of some countries like Spain and Italy going to open up its tourism sector but socially distance whereas Argentina is closing its borders to tourists until September. Personally I do not want to risk catching something on holiday, it’s the last place I would as I wouldn’t want to strain the healthcare of the country I am visiting temporarily.
I get that some countries do live off tourism, but what would make people want to go on holiday abroad with strict social distancing regulations that are likely to be costly to business and operators? Would love to hear your thoughts, personally DH and I have said that our abroad holidays will be postponed till some normality has arisen but that will be a long time yet, we may ‘holiday’ in the UK instead but very unlikely. It’s going to be hard yet to open up a large tourism sector when schools and workplaces will have to be reformed.
