These dark days started almost five years ago.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and four days later, the American states began to order closings and travel restrictions.
At the end of the month, the European Union had prohibited non -essential trips from outside the block, cruise ships were under an order without American waters and the governors of the States having issued orders to the home to prevent the spread of the virus. Non -essential trips would be frozen for months.
Once vaccines have become widely available in the spring of 2021, trips began to bounce back, although with compulsory representatives on planes and in transport centers. While the masks were slowly detached and the borders reopened, travelers have sought to compensate for lost time, a phenomenon known as “avenge travel”.
The frost quickly turned into a flood while hot spots like Venice, Iceland, Barcelona and Dubrovnik, Croatia, filled with visitors. A shortage of tourism has suddenly become overourism, and many destinations have started to promulgate restrictions and charge costs to dissuade hordes.
The last five years have been completely roller coaster. We want to hear how these ups and downs have affected your relationship with travel.
