How to Travel Responsibly after Covid-19 Pandemic?

If you have to name one industry that was hit very badly in this Covid-19 pandemic, it is, none other than the travel industry. The whole industry has witnessed a complete shut down across the globe.

Some small travel agencies also had to shut down their operations due to recession. As per the reports, people believe that travel will never turn back as normal after this solid hit as it will be impossible to travel in a pandemic. People have cancelled their ​tours to Vietnam​,​ USA, Europe and other regions due to this pandemic.

What will be the next scene after the Covid-19 effects slow down? This is the burning question trending in the travel industry. As we have witnessed, when the whole world was a standstill, there was cleaner air, wildlife and nature came back to life. Even local communities came close during the Covid-19 hit. The only thing that we, as human beings, need to learn is to become a responsible traveller. We need to be more mindful and responsible when we buy a Europe or Cambodia or Vietnam tour package.

In this article, we will discuss some of the advice that we need to follow when we travel in the future.

Respect Wildlife

One of the main contributors to deadly diseases is human-made, mostly through activities like wildlife trade. There are theories that Corona was spread during the illegal wildlife trade in Wuhan.

Even Ebola and Nipah viruses were also spread due to wildlife trade. Even researchers are warning that the ocean can be a transmitter of various diseases. So, one thing that we need to do is to end this wildlife trade to prevent zoonotic diseases.

What can you do as a traveller? At least, you can stop eating at restaurants that deal with foods made from wild animals. You can also stop purchasing products that are made from endangered species such as ivory, mammal, reptile teeth and bones, animal skins or corals and seashells. Also, you can contribute your part by participating in ethical practices and experiences.

We must have seen animal abuses at national parks, zoos and natural reserves. All you need to do is to obey the rules set by nature. If you visit the natural reserve or zoo, watch animals from a distance and don't disturb their activities.

Decarbonize your travel with eco-friendly transportation

Do you know that travelling contributes to around 8% of global CO2 emissions? We used to travel by air even the distance can be covered by train or bus or a private vehicle. We need to change these habits by limiting our air travel. Instead of going abroad, you can explore your own country’s finest tourist attractions and contribute to your economy.

Take the train or bus for travelling locally and avoid air travels. Explore local culture and history and make new experiences. Start using a cycle instead of a car if you want to go grocery shopping. Such small steps can contribute a lot to nature.

Protect the environment with a responsible tour operator

Nature has bounced back during the lockdown months and canals, oceans, rivers and streets are cleaner than they were before. Can you remember how careless we were before the pandemic? We used to carry plastic bottles and plastic bags wherever we visited. We used to throw garbage and waste anywhere on the road without worrying about anything. Now, when you have more wisdom, you can avoid such silly mistakes when you travel again. Use reusable bottles and refusing plastic bags when you travel. Take food containers with you when you travel to any destination and throw trash in trash-bins only.

Conclusion Nature is very precious and we need to protect and nurture it. This is the best time to become a responsible citizen and traveller by not repeating any mistakes that we have made in the past.
