Highlighting the new Travel Trends of 2021 <\/strong>is\u00a0essential. In particular, analysing the development prospects of the tourism<\/strong> sector that characterize the Covid era<\/strong> and will characterize the Post-Covid <\/strong>era in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Resilience<\/strong> and adaptability<\/strong> are two fundamental characteristics for a rebirth<\/strong> of the hospitality<\/strong> and tourism<\/strong> sector. Recovery<\/strong> of the economic<\/strong>, social<\/strong>, historical<\/strong> and cultural<\/strong> heritage<\/strong> of the destinations is necessary. Based on the analysis by the UNWTO<\/strong>, the European Commission<\/strong>‘s report “Behavioural changes in tourism in times of COVID-19<\/a>” and the OECD<\/strong> report “Rebuilding tourism for the future: COVID-19 policy responses and recovery<\/a>” try to understand<\/strong>\u00a0how tourism demand<\/strong> is changing, how to update and what strategies<\/strong> to adopt to transform these challenges<\/strong> into opportunities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In this period, it has become essential to better understand travellers intentions<\/strong>\u00a0and try to outline future trends<\/strong>. Analysts and research<\/strong> bodies are trying to gather as much information as possible on the traces<\/strong>\u00a0left online by potential tourists. At the moment, travelling is not possible and we do not yet know when it will be. We must try to understand the preliminary phases<\/strong> of the journey <\/strong>–\u00a0that is the “dreaming<\/strong>” phase – in which potential travellers inspire themselves on new future<\/strong> destinations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Even during the worst times of the pandemic, travellers never stopped researching<\/strong> and planning<\/strong> their trips. The decrease<\/strong> of restrictions <\/strong>and the\u00a0acceleration<\/strong> of\u00a0vaccinations<\/strong> will be the starting point for returning to travel<\/strong>. It is crucial to be ready. The step is short “from looking to booking<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n
