The COVID-19 pandemic has forced most people to stay home to prevent the spread of the virus. Front liners such as physicians, nurses, medical staff, and essential services workers are the only ones allowed to go out of their homes to serve the public. Jessica Leonard.
While the coronavirus impacts all industries, many wonder about the status of the travel industry. With closed airports and government-imposed travel bans, traveling from one place to another is impossible. Many who pride themselves as influencers have their careers on hold due to the pandemic. Globe-trotting is canceled, and the promotion of travel destinations during these times seems out of tune. Jessica Leonard.
A couple of weeks into the global outbreak of COVID-19, travelers and influencers were still considering traveling—leaning more on continuing with planned trips—only with heightened safety and health measures. Now that the virus is on full swing in many countries, there really isn’t anything left to consider but general health and safety. Airlines have announced their cancelation of flights; concerts are rescheduled; local and international events are either suspended or canceled. Jessica Leonard.
Many influencers are afraid to travel not because of the virus; they fear not getting home due to travel bans. While there shouldn’t be second-guessing, some use their blogs to urge people not to watch the news not to be fearful of the virus, instead go on with their travel plans, but with caution.
