LIFE IS A JOURNEY: 8 Reasons to Travel Post Pandemic BY SHIRLEY MERITH, Faculty | School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts If there is one thing that this pandemic has taught us it is that “Time moves forward regardless of the circumstances.” Who would have thought that an entire world of travellers would be crippled by the Covid-19 pandemic? Many hotels, resorts, restaurants and cruise lines were dormant for months on end. Airlines were flying at minimum capacity, and car rental companies had their lots full of unrented vehicles gathering dust. Theme parks and casinos were virtually closed and convention spaces were empty. Let’s not leave out all of the businesses that support them, such as travel agents, food and beverage suppliers, cleaners, tour operators, etc, who also suffered great losses. While parts of the world are still in transition, most, if not all, borders have fully opened up again. Businesses are starting to get back to what they do best and people who love to travel can have their bags packed as soon as possible ready to explore again. Depending, of course, on the destination’s covid entry requirements. While visiting family and close friends is of the utmost importance post-pandemic I created a list for some other reasons that will hopefully pique your interest and convince you to take a well-deserved getaway. This list is in no particular order. 1. BUCKET LIST A bucket list doesn’t have to be anything off the beaten track or something unique that you would like to do. It could be as simple as going to the tourist places in your city, state or country. So maybe your list includes taking the time to explore where you live and what it has to offer. However, for others, a bucket list might include places far away and the further the better. For those wide-eyed dreamers, here are some ideas you might want to consider for your bucket list. Floating in the dead sea in Israel or Jordan, taking a tour of the Vatican in Vatican City, seeing the great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, enjoying a food and wine tour in Tuscany, Italy, or going shopping at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey. A bucket list is just that, places or things that you would like to see or do before you die. You may not get the opportunity to complete them all, but it sure would be nice to be able to achieve most of them. VOL. 1 / NO. 1 • WRITERS UNBLOCKED 25
