Premium Content 2021 Easter holidays have been again different from pre-pandemic times. With limited travel opportunities and the fear of lockdowns and quarantine, many people have chosen to take their well-earned breaks closer to home. People have travelled, often long distances, for centuries; but the concept of travel as a leisure activity is a relatively new one.
