The trend is not written on stone

Hospitality and tourism are part of the human desire to stimulate curiosity and creativity. People have never stopped completely traveling or exploring, not even after the worst of wars and/ or other pandemics. After the chaos, it is all cyclic and its part of the survival of species. Migrating, for many causes. (Permanently, vacationing, visiting family and friends.) 

However, we will never see the term “socializing” the way we saw it before. The fact that the coronavirus Covid-19 is more contagious than many others, without showing symptoms on some people for a certain time, and without a not known efficient vaccine until this point, has created a lot of uncertainty in cities and towns that feed their economies from the beauty of tourism. 

Tourism will re open gradually, travel should be more organized and less crowed. The protection in airplanes with masks and gloves will be the new normal. Hotels and hostels will take many more distancing measures. This will also be true for tours, restaurants, bars and public events. The question will be, how will people see socializing now. The trend is not written on stone, it will all depend on the psychology of the people. And it will vary from country to country, even from town to town.
