Covid-19 has devastated global travel and-as the industry recovers from the effects of the pandemic-tourism will be increasingly localised and complicated. This won’t just affect foreign holidays; it could disrupt the workings of the globalised world. Read more here: econ.st/3gJ0O8f

To think in 2019 I was flying across the Atlantic not thinking much of it. Yesterday I felt so privileged to spend a couple hours in a neighboring city less than 15 km away.

Agreed. I travelled all over last year and everyone thought it was too much. Now I'm so blessed to have ignored everyone and travelled a lot as it won't be the same again (or at least it's going to take a long time for it to come close to Pre-Covid)

@Ian Mann uhm "ever"? Disregarding the fact that many countries like Japan for example are open RIGHT NOW and trying to stimulate tourism, once this pandemic is over at least leisure travel at least thr long haul part will recover (I hope short trips more by train). I plan to go to Japan in a few years 😁

Japan is beautiful, and the flight was very expansieve already 2013. With current climate it woud be more expansieve. I am 55 and did a lot of travelling in my days I always say I living in a golden age. But even for the pandanmic You see the cracks already, flight shaming, it is slowing become a rich thing again to fly we are running out of oil ect. My father saved for this yourney to indonesian, when he was in his early 50's, he was from 1923, I was 25 and already was to crete and .egypt. I traveled a lot over seas and I hope to this for a time, but yes it will changing.

It’s been almost 2 years since this video was uploaded. Nothing has changed, but maybe gotten more worse. 2 years of no travelling has left a toll on me. I feel that next time I go on holiday I must appreciate it as much as possible. I feel old and changed. I don’t feel like that guy who I used to be, travelling the world with my loved ones and telling stories to all my friends. Dozing off in school, imagining the next holiday to Casablanca or Antalya, letting my imagination run wild, only to be more amazed than what I thought. Meeting locals and learning their way of life and the scenery that makes me feel like I’m in a movie. The mountains filled with green. Everything I saw online was never even close to my experiences. The delicious fahitas that makes me never feel the same again. I feel great sadness that covid hit now but now I understand I shouldn’t take my experiences for granted.

To be fair we were heading into a downward spiral in terms of how globalization wasn't caring for the inevitable environmental crisis. While we can evolve around COVID and get to treatments or a vaccine we can't recover easily from catastrophic earthquakes, rising temperatures that damaged roads and buildings, or floods that take over areas people live in. While we can all agree that the economic repercussions will be brutal and scary we also have to understand that we need to redesign elements of this system because quite possibly if we don't the consequences will be even worse.

@@smr32061 I feel the reality of many countries like us in South America is too bleak to really consider opening up to tourism from people outside any time soon. Also, places like Sweden that didn't undergo lockdown protocols might get blocked by other countries who did and use this mechanism to protect its people. I highly doubt that travel will return to any noticeable level this calendar year. Until a vaccine isn't in its final stages to be sold I doubt we will see international travel come back.

Efficiency is never going to tackle flying Fossil Fuel emissions. Planes are already 4 or 5 times more efficient than in the 70's but that lowered cost of travel and so increased demand (see Jevons paradox). As a result, we now produce much more emissions than in the 70's with less efficient airplanes.

Personal opinion: I don't think we'll ever fully go back to the way things were. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Once we fully adapt to the lockdown, we will probably see a world that's safer, more controlled and more productive than the one before. Chances of violence and the contraction of other diseases will decrease, and less work hours will be spent on traveling, among other things. I believe we're experiencing the ”growing pains” of this transition now. People will start feeling better about this eventually.

Downsides of the collapse of the travel industry: lost jobs, bankruptcies. Upsides: Less stress on the environment between fewer carbon emissions, less people crowding into paradise destinations like Phuket. Less brain drain. Now stand out students with graduate degrees in Pakistan or Nigeria will be forced to stay home and contribute to development in those countries versus just moving to the USA or Europe for better pay.

Travelling will probably remain tedious and extremely difficult. International travel will probably not be possible for most people for the next decades ahead. Most travellers will either be from the upper classes or will be people visiting familly members abroad, travelling for work or travelling for business. International tourism will be a thing of the past - something relegated to some sort of "Golden Age of Travel", when international travel was easy and relatively affordable and most people could afford to simply get a passport, hop in a plane and travel all around the world. It would be remembered to have taken place between roughly between the 1950s, peaking in the 1970s when flight speed was at its fastest and tickets at their cheapests all the way to the 2010s and ending with the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2019-2020.

Part of what global elites and government want is increased surveillance and greater wealth disparity. This allows them to maintain more control over people, and between nations.

@@vonschenck6464 Climate change is not at all the biggest threat to environment. Poverty actually is. The doomsday climate alarmist could really just be ignored. "Dump all your money here instead of there, because we actually want to keep people in poverty in order to retain our position of power" is the message from climate alarmists. Checkout the book from this environmentalist, "Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All." The climate change hysteria parallels covid hysteria, "We must have a vaccine in order to go back to normal." There is always some sort of hysterical binary, and that is my cue to completely ignore it, because then I know it's fake (there is almost never "only one saving" option for anything LoL) Just people pushing their financial agenda and looking for your support and to capitalize on you being afraid.

Demand will gradually return but the aviation industry will already have changed by then. Journalists tend to exaggerate in order to sell their stories, so this video speculates about more extreme scenarios than what will probably occur. For example, the idea that commercial aviation will return to how it was 50+ years ago is absurd. However, we should expect significant disruptive changes for the next few years, as was the case after 911.

A business which profits from threatening the safe operating space of humanity should not be supported, it is rather the opposite. The flight industry has not worked on solutions on the climate crises, because they used the lack of international regulations to allow carosine to be nearly tax free. This is now an opportunity to create incentives for air travel to apply to the paris agreement in order to earn government aid. This will not help the issue of inequalities created through the lack of tourism, but at least may mitigate climate change (which is also an inequality)
