- The best travel advice I received from travelling was from my father: “Adapt. Nothing is set in stone when you’re traveling. Learn to allow things to change, and learn to try something new no matter what.”
- In your opinion, what is one positive and lasting outcome the pandemic will have on the travel industry:
- Setting times for tourist attractions. I think this actually benefits ecosystems and staffing. The staff isn’t overwhelmed by too many people at the location and the environment isn’t harmed either.
