2020 and <strong>2021</strong> are going into the history<br />
books as two of the most trying<br />
years of our lifetime. The pandemic<br />
has been devastating on so many<br />
levels. Lives lost, businesses floundering,<br />
and the freedom to<br />
explore our world all but<br />
taken away<br />
Of all the industries<br />
affected by Covid-19, the<br />
travel industry has been one<br />
of the most impacted. From<br />
the early days scrambling to<br />
get clients home as the world<br />
was shutting down, to endless<br />

tirelessly to take care of their clients.<br />
While we are still battling this pandemic,<br />
there is a light at the end of the<br />
tunnel and it’s getting brighter every<br />
day. TRAVEL IS BACK. It looks a<br />
little different, but travelers can once<br />
again grab their passports and<br />
escape.<br />
As countries are opening up,<br />
changing protocols and restrictions<br />
have made travel planning much<br />
more complicated. Travel advisors<br />
are constantly monitoring everything<br />
from a destination’s current covid statistics,<br />
entry and exit requirements,<br />
local regulations, to hotel and resort<br />
protocols. In our new normal, the<br />

travel advisor has never been more<br />
crucial.<br />
Advisors including Wiechnik have<br />
been traveling themselves these past<br />
months -- testing the waters. They are<br />
able to help their clients navigate the<br />
new rules, and more importantly conquer<br />
the anxieties that accompany<br />
trip planning in a pandemic world.<br />
For the vaccinated, travel is as close<br />
to the “old normal” as it is going to be<br />
for the foreseeable future. Most countries<br />
require pre arrival covid tests<br />
and proof of vaccination. Masking,<br />
social distancing and sanitizing are<br />
practiced everywhere. Before<br />
returning to Canada a Covid PCR test<br />
is required – easily obtained in destination<br />
as tourism has adapted.<br />
Definitely a few hoops to jump<br />
through, but so worth it.<br />
Covid is not going away, but<br />
we are learning to live with it.<br />
The time has come to revisit<br />
those postponed travel<br />
dreams and make them a<br />
reality. Contact XCURSIONS<br />
