The travel industry was one of the first to feel the crushing financial blow of Covid-19 and continues to be one of the hardest hit sectors, with the World Travel and Tourism Council warning in June that 197 million jobs could be lost by the end of 2020.
While the vaccine brings the promise of a brighter future, it’s still hard to know how many businesses may be able to recover, how long it’s all going to take and how many livelihoods might be lost along the way.
Grounded, subject to often drastic quarantine measures and with no idea when they might be able to travel freely again, people might feel as though there’s little they can do to help. This holiday season, however, provides an opportunity to support the travel industry while cheering ourselves up in the process.
