Q4: Covid crisis: Now let's take the long view: Tweet about a travel practice that you think will change long-term as a result of the pandemic. #TWchats

#TWchats A4: In hotels, there may be concerns about sharing others' pillows and bed coverings.

A4: Hand sanitizer is here to stay, as is a demand for more personal space. More than anything we expect to see a spike in travel automation and hands-free transactions the U.S. has so far been slowly adopting. (Plus travel insurance seems more important than ever!) #TWChats

A4: The emergence of “new” destinations. Any attractive low-density town or village in Europe will be overlooked no more, and could develop, for better or worse, a tourism-based economy. #TWChats

A4 Where do we start? Do we all carry immunity passports or health certificates? Hotels will certainly need to meet coronavirus health standards—@traveling_mb tells us all about it: https://t.co/FKKU7PsIOH

A4 It's very difficult to make long-term predictions that don't feel like guesswork or complete conjecture at this point, but my hope is that the travel industry uses this crisis as a once-in-a-century opportunity to build a better and more sustainable world. #TWchats

A4: We think more travelers will turn to professionals when it's time to plan their future trips. One silver lining of the COVID situation is that more people now realize the value of working with a travel advisor.

A4: @twtravelnews As a result of the pandemic, we think we'll see a change in how travelers are greeted and greet one another. We expect to see fewer handshakes, but even more smiles. #TWchats

A4: so many new travel terms and practices are already popping up. We're just trying to keep track! #TWchats https://t.co/j6U0uuDkIH

replying to @awtravelweekly @awtravelweekly Sadly, it will be how we greet each other. No more handshakes, double kisses or hugs. More hands over hearts and bows. #TWChats A4

A4: Airlines are going to have to be nice to people again! And about bloody time! Because they will not get as many customers as before and will have to compete to sell flights. #TWchats

A4 Let's all think about travel as a force for good. Let’s be more conscientious global citizens who value people and the sustainable future of our planet. As members of this important industry that fuels so much good, let’s be the better travelers who lead the way. #TWchats

replying to @KGlowczewska A4: The mechanics of travel will change, just as flying changed after 9/11. The way we are screened on planes and cruise ships, not for explosive devices but for infectious disease. But once we get to our destination, the world will be as beautiful and exciting as ever. #TWchats
HIPR
A4: A travel practice we see changing for the foreseeable future is the increased desire for exclusive, intimate travel experiences. Properties such as @jumbybay, nestled on a 300-acre private Caribbean island, offer an idyllic experience we expect travelers to seek. #TWchats

A4: Longterm changes will include enhanced hygiene and sanitation, contactless technology, flexible booking options, and low-density destinations, among many others. A brave new world #TWChats

A4: Travel will be dramatically different - we’re predicting a lot of safety changes from social distancing to improved cleaning protocols. #TWChats
Tours_By_Locals
A4. Sadly, handshakes and hugs with our local guides are likely over for the next couple years. We need to find meaningful new gestures to express connection and kindness. #TWchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A4 #TWChats I think there’ll be more interest in private villa vacations.

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A4: Hotels' improved sanitization practices, air travel, a stronger presence for boutique hotels, and more conscious travelers. #TWChats
AdventureChrisS
replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A4) Definitly buffets on cruise ships or even at hotels that offer free breakfast etc. Something I dont see coming back for the forseeable future #TWchats

A4 Paperless travel will be required - more handsfree contact. #TWChats https://t.co/mb0WLyiFfm

A4 People are making more careful choices in the Covid era, supporting businesses they believe in. Destinations need to give visitors reasons to believe - whether that’s sustainability, ethical labor practices, community impact or partnerships. #TWchats #travel

replying to @CNTraveler @CNTraveler A4. It’s hard to predict what will happen in the long term because we’ve all become so shortsighted. I’d like to see planes become cleaner, less crowded and more environmentally friendly. #TWChats

A4: An unrealistic but aspirational change would be for airlines to increase their seat pitch. #TWchats
