"I think as long as everyone adheres to the hygiene advice and social distancing we should be able to travel without too much fear of catching Covid19 until a vaccine is produced.."
"I am looking forward to travel once the pandemic has passed. I’m hoping that there will be a change in the way cruise ships are run regarding hygiene to reduce the chance of any outbreak including Noro, flu etc"
"Don’t let this pandemic deminish your travel goals or aspirations.....as long as you have a forward plan and adhere to local and international guidelines you should have no worries in order to fulfil your travel dreams....."
"I was 5 weeks away from leaving for our 2yr planned Italy holiday. The inner disappointment and loss you feel is immense - just moving forward to plan is all that helps🙁"
"I will not travel on ocean voyages but would consider river cruising"
"As our journey will not commence until April 2021, I am optimistic the world will be in a safer climate then."
"COVID has changed the travel thinking of a lot of my friends. It has made us concerned & cautious, both in where/when to travel and where we stand regarding insurance & fees incurred if we have to return home. Also the freedom & costs of travel has become prohibited."
"Don't let fear stop you from enjoying the beauty and adventure within your own country and around the world. There is something waiting for everyone. History, culture, scenery, food, adventure and thrills, whatever your heart desires, is there in abundance. A ship in the harbour is safe but that's not what ships were built for."
"I feel for the travel industry so want to support them by travelling again as long as it's safe and I won't have to self-isolate when I get somewhere. In a way I feel that transport and other things will have more hygiene than they did before so I'm not afraid of catching anything"
