Annual #Travel Editors Roundtable
TWChats
replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A3 #TWChats I think there’ll be more interest in outdoor adventures like hiking, cycling, kayaking and Nordic skiing.
replying to @jules_afar @jules_afar @TWtravelnews A1. Lots of folks are dreaming about remote peaceful getaways, like road trips & camping in the Alaskan Wilderness! #thisisskagway #TWchats
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 @jesseashlock @jesseashlock @CNTraveler Agreed for the future...although for now the border between Canada and the US remains firmly closed until June 21 at least...We miss our adventures down south! #TWchats
replying to @AFARmedia @AFARmedia @TWrtobin @jacquigiff @TravelLeisure @ERTourism @MERITALY Sacre bleu (cheese). #twchats
Our tours editor @traveljeri wrote a piece recently about the appeal of national parks this summer. #TWchats @KGlowczewska https://t.co/lIr0IZpSjJ https://t.co/BoPvtgoG6c
RT @jesseashlock: We have already been hearing about a future of “travel bubbles,” whether officially designated or not. I think those will…
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
RT @KGlowczewska: A3: First, it’s about making a travel dreamlist—perfect time to do that, with so many borders still closed. Then--seclude…
RT @jesseashlock: @dannen825 @AFARmedia I really hope that kind of consumer behavior becomes the norm. #TWChats
A2 Enjoying some memorable views on our last trip to @patagonia_camp #travelwENroute #twchats
A3: In the future, travelers are going to be paying more attention to avoiding crowds, avoiding lines, and avoiding companies that have treated them poorly in the past. Risk aversion will be key. #TWchats
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
RT @HIPR: A3: "It feels intuitively right that domestic travel for Americans would come back first, especially in the coming summer months.…
replying to @jules_afar @jules_afar @AFARmedia @Amanresorts @maisondelaluz I had to postpone my trip to Paris, so I can’t wait to visit #jkplaceparis #TWChats
replying to @dannen825
@dannen825 That's a great point! Travelers may be focusing more on the PEOPLE they are traveling with, and not just the destination.
#TWchats
A3: Local trips may be popular! We're excited to offer our clients luxury getaways that may be within driving distance. #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
A2 We are dreaming about a relaxing massage and facial followed by a dip in the pool! #spa #TWchats via @twtravelnews @VWT_Travel @TravelLeisure
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
replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A1 #TWChats I’m dreaming of visiting two places that I specialize in: Iceland and the Faroe Islands, both having successfully tackled the coronavirus.
I definitely think all of the innovative new cleaning practices that hotels have been introducing will be with us for good, even post-crisis. They will simply be part of what consumers expect in a quality property, and may also give hotels a leg up on Airbnb. (part 1) #TWChats https://t.co/GNkgM77BUx
RT @VWT_Travel: Q3: Covid crisis: What do you think will be one of the biggest changes in how people approach travel planning in the near t…
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

A3: Tourism recovery will begin locally with staycations and drive-to destinations. Increased sanitation procedures for airlines and boarding protocols will also change travel as we know it. #TWChats https://t.co/WIGjufhwOF
Airport security is going to be reimagined, whether that’s Covid-19 testing or temperature testing is still unknown.
- @jacquigiff #TWchats https://t.co/Ci6RQd0F66
A3: We are also looking at the increased need of travel agents since people want to feel comfortable with their purchases should they need to cancel, and travel agents offer that sense of security and flexibility. #TWChats https://t.co/WIGjufhwOF
replying to @TWrtobin @TWrtobin @jesseashlock It depends a great deal on where our guests live. Here in Northern California, it's easy to do a lot without going more than a few hours' drive from home. I'd want to know about the tethers - how far from home are you willing to go, physically or metaphorically? #TWChats

replying to @jesseashlock And I think contactless check-in experiences at airports, hotels, and elsewhere, which we’d already been working toward, will now be a normal part of life. (part 2) #TWchats
replying to @awtravelweekly @awtravelweekly Leading to a reduction in #overtourism, perhaps, with tourism flows distributed outside of major tourism hubs like Venice, Dubrovnik, Barcelona, etc. #TWChats
RT @dannen825: A4 Where do we start? Do we all carry immunity passports or health certificates? Hotels will certainly need to meet coronavi…

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

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A1) I dream of getting back on a cruise ship soon. I want to cruise to Alaska and also ABC Islands. My two dream destinations #TWChats
replying to @CNTraveler
@CNTraveler I’m used to this at my home airport in Taipei, but I’d like to see more airports adopt unobtrusive temperature screening methods. The onus shouldn’t be solely on airlines. #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
replying to @CNTraveler @CNTraveler @TWtravelnews A1. I’ve had to cancel trips to Romania and Switzerland due to the pandemic and I can’t stop dreaming about the adventures that could have been. #TWChats
A4: Travel will be dramatically different - we’re predicting a lot of safety changes from social distancing to improved cleaning protocols. #TWChats
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
