    How will covid-19 change travel?

    Sonia, Nacho Rodriguez, Michael O'leary, Simon Wright

    The pandemic has fundamentally reshaped global tourism by accelerating remote work trends that favor "bleisure" travel and alternative accommodations while simultaneously causing a historic collapse in international air travel volumes. In response to these disruptions, airlines face grim long-haul recovery prospects due to vanishing corporate demand, prompting a strategic industry pivot toward sustainable models and digital health verification tools like vaccine passports. Regional governments and destinations are now actively restructuring their economies to attract knowledge workers and disperse mass tourism crowds, prioritizing long-term ecological balance over a rapid return to pre-2019 visitor numbers.
