The Future of Travel in a Post COVID-19 World
Things have a way of changing but who would’ve thought that this year would bring a series of changes that will transform the world? No one contemplated this. However, the pandemic is here and the travel industry has taken the biggest hit.
Many companies have opted for bailouts and many are merging. Airbnb’s efforts of twelve years have been destroyed just in a matter of six weeks. So, what does the future hold for travel and how will traveling look like post-pandemic?
Changes In Travel Post-Pandemic
Experts are now weighing in on this and forecasting that travelers may have to present a record of vaccination and an entrance visa. This can be provided in the form of paper or as a mark on their arm that can only be seen in infrared.
Does this technology exist? Yes, micro-needles can be used to give the vaccine and a mark under the skin storing the record of your vaccination permanently only to be discovered by infrared devices.
Apart from that many other safety and health precautions will be taken to ensure cleanliness and sanitation. This is why UV-cleaning devices are in the works. They disinfect everything thoroughly so that no germs are left in the air either.
Such devices will be used in planes, hotels, taxis, and many other places where many people come and go daily. In airports these devices could be used as passengers pass through security points to eliminate germs.
A PhoneSoap is in the works that will disinfect your phone using UV rays so that it doesn’t have any germs on it. In many cases, our phones are dirtier than our toilets and this is exactly what the soap will eliminate.
Emirates has its own testing kits that tell within ten minutes if a person is a carrier of the virus before they board their flight – just further proof that the world of traveling will change dramatically.
