It goes without saying that 2020 has been a rough year. Covid-19, unsettled cities and countries, the environment showing its anger.
With hope on the horizon from the Covid-19 vaccines, perhaps now we can think ahead to finding our way out of the gloom.
Anticipating that, many travel companies are thinking outside the box to enable us to dream and, even, start to plan our next trip. It may be months away, but these companies are offering creative “buy now, travel later” schemes that just may be the perfect solution: they can survive to see another day, and we can look forward to a future of travel and which also helps to support industry jobs in the process.
