#Slow Travel philosophy#
Travelling after Corona virus pandemic crisis
Nowadays, more than ever before, everybody looks for a chance; to dream away.
To feel free and secure. To make plans.
During the coronavirus pandemic crisis, people have to slow down their lives and change their lifestyle.
While staying and working at home being the priority at the moment, many of us grab the opportunity to connect with ourselves and appreciate every little precious moment of it.
Here you can find the protocol for arrivals in and departures from Greece and stay updated!
On the other hand, people miss the opportunity to travel, to connect with a place, and create life-changing experiences.
Travelling during coronavirus pandemic crisis is not possible due to travel restrictions and safety measures for the preservation of public health worldwide.
Responsible travelling & tourist hotspots
Soon or later though, people will have the chance to plan travels and holidays again.
Will they visit with the same enthusiasm crowded tourist hotspots, as before coronavirus pandemic crisis?
Will they have the same preferences in locations, accommodations, and even means of transport to their travel destination?
Self-responsibility allows us to make conscious choices and understand the importance of ‘’togetherness’’, in our lives.
Fast means of transport, for reaching a destination, has been for decades the number one choice of travellers around the globe.
However, times have changed.
Climate change and the gradual rise of environmental awareness, shape new trends in the tourism industry.
Package holidays VS Experience travelling
In recent years, cultural and thematic tourism gradually gained ground, while ecotourism attracted a huge audience globally.
Nowadays, social distancing, the new measurements and restrictions add to this trend the need to visit locations not very far away from home with plenty of wide spaces to explore.
At this moment, in order to limit the spread of the coronavirus mutation many countries have closed their borders.
But when the borders will be open again, the package holiday and mass tourism might have come to an end.
The all-inclusive hotel complexes will have to combat with the small-scale hotels, b&b`s, and traditional touristic accommodations.
The package holidays will give space to experience travelling, with personalized services and respect to the social and physical environment.
The rise of the Slow Tourism after Corona virus pandemic crisis
Slow tourism works beneficially for all parties
Support localities and host communities
Stimulate personalized services to the travellers
Promotes environmental conservation & preservation
Gives travellers the chance to rediscover meaningful travelling
Slow travellers are environmentally conscious and choose to use slow surface transport, as they are ‘’carbon-friendly’’ and cause minimal CO2 emission.
Slow Travel & Sustainable choice-making
Slow travel is now in the highlights and all-inclusive touristic trends seems to fade away.
The urge for safety, connection with nature, and sustainable choice-making fit absolutely with the Slow Travel philosophy in its whole.
In a moment where everybody is looking for a hero, each one of us can be this hero.
The one who protects and supports the other, live consciously, and enjoy life`s pleasures as for the very first time!
If tourism is not based on the mutual trust between the traveller and the host, it cannot be continued.
Now it is time to disconnect from our old self and reconnect with our sustainable future!
