Dave & Deb’s Future Travel Predictions

  • Some airports are only allowing travellers in the airport.
  • The airport experiesnce will change. Airport will most likely implement machines that can detect if you have a fever when you pass through them.
  • Travel will be more expensive. 
  • Travel will get back to normal in 2021. People will accept living wth the virus (with or without a vaccine) 
  • Air Canada is looking to return to rgular scheduled flights by the end of the year
  • Airbnb’s booking have been going up. Airbnb allows you to self isolate much better. 
  • What will happen to hostels? Maybe the people  who don’t mind being in crowds at beaches and parks will be the ones who are ok with staying in hostels. 
  • Tours probably won’t change. They would implement COVID protocols
  • Food tours might struggle but outdoor nature tour will do well
