Coronavirus could open up new travel destinations.

“Shamim we feel sorry for you”: the most common phrase in most emails i get in my email inbox, watsap, twitter, instagram and all the channels of communication.  Most people here in Uganda and out of here that know me. Know me because of the travel business. Coronavirus however has brought up a feeling in persons that i have to answer a few questions all day.
Yes the idea of not travelling and not being able to work is not fare at all for many of us. We have been stuck for quite some time now though people have been moving until early march and for some end of Feb.
As the coronavirus keeps spreading more and more around the world; the questions keep popping up: Are we ever going to travel again? Should I cancel my august trip? Is their covid-19 in Africa more and more each minute?
The answer, I give is- do you like to travel, if yes let us travel tomorrow and too much newer and safer travel destinations that we could have never imagined;

Did you know that we are having new travel destination due to Coronavirus.

Let’s look at things like this, we are used to traveling in places we know because of history and also the beauty they have. Like the Gorillas of Uganda and the mighty River Nile. We have not thought about places that we must see because of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Most people are thinking beyond the box right now, things like I have ever wanted to travel to Africa what’s new there. Why didn’t Africa get hit badly by the covid-19 pandemic, such issues are going to rise into traveling to places in Africa.
We know for a fact now that the coronavirus started in china but now, not many people have been visiting the Wuhan city in china, this will push many to try it out and see exactly what happened there.This is called the human intuition.
“As of now, more than 1,600 attractions have opened in China,” says company spokeswoman Wendy Min. “We are already seeing a lot of interest.”

How coronavirus will change your next vacation

• You’ll pay less.  Travelers have already seen deep discounts in all over the world. They include 50% off hotel rates and up to 40% off airfares. But as if the lock down issues are lifted, prices could go even lower as travel companies compete aggressively for your travel dollar. Look for lots of deals and better values.
• Your ticket will be more flexible. Most air fares are now up to 40% which we predict may go a bit lower soon. Change fees and refund rules will stay away for the rest of the year, maybe longer.
• Your vacation will be cleaner and safer. Most of the airlines, hotels and cruises are fumigating and deep cleaning. Your airline, cruise line and hotel will emphasize their hygiene and safety.

How will people travel after the coronavirus?
According to recent blogs and news from hotels, people have started booking their next travel safaris in Uganda most especially 2021 may and above. This means that travels may be back slowly. However the trend may be shifting slowly for better or worse.

1. People will move to one country at a time or their countries. International travel will be basically done and limited to one country at a time not multiple countries due to fear. As also the beginning travel may be done home for the start closer to home.
2. Travellers are going to demand more. As measurements to keep safe and secure travelers will demand more and more. This will lead to general cleanliness as well as new trends in tours to be done. We will see changes in group tours with people we don’t know as embracing private car rentals or private arranged safaris.
3. They’ll make it quick. A softer economy will mean a 7 days Uganda safari-a week or even less like summer vacation could turn into a long weekend.

Coronavirus will change your next vacation. You’ll pay less; you’ll have more flexibility than ever like choosing a customized safari jeep for two persons on a Uganda safari.
