Airports design strategies to survive the pandemic
Chances are good that this trend will consolidate not just this summer, but also beyond the pandemic. In surveys, one-third of respondents said they wanted to change their travel behavior compared to before the pandemic, says Schmude. Many have discovered travel destinations in Germany that they hadn t even considered before, says Buhl. She hopes that people will gain a new appreciation for travel through COVID-19 also in terms of sustainability. According to Schmude, there is no way to avoid it: The discussion about overtourism, flight shaming and cruises has indeed been pushed to the sidelines by the coronavirus. But it hasn t gone away; it will continue.
