It appears that international travel will take some time to recover:
A report this week by Barclays, “Travel, Interrupted”, is tipping a permanent reduction in global mobility arising from COVID-19. “We think it is very likely that mobility restrictions will remain even after the developed economies have achieved herd immunity. In other words, the risk of a ‘persistent pandemic’ is real.”
Even when borders open, travel is expected to remain a greater a hassle than before, requiring more paperwork and vaccinations against new strains of the virus. The result? Permanent scarring of the work prospects of employees in travel, hospitality and tourism and a widening gap in fortunes between the developed and developing world, the latter relying more on inbound tourism.
