Week 8 in Travel<\/h1>\n

Even though not many of us are traveling, a lot is going on in the industry. The changes that travel and tourism have undergone in the past year are enormous and many things took a turn from one day to another.<\/p>\n

This week’s highlights include Emirates operating their first fully-vaccinated flight and news of an airline industry app which could open up travel without the need of quarantine. It seems that there is a lot of hope for the future of travel as companies and governments are doing the best they can to come up with ways in which we can resume travel as soon as possible, in a safe way. We are all moving towards the same goal but we have to be careful so that we don’t jump in too quickly.<\/p>\n

We can see that a lot of the news from last week include talk about the future of travel, vaccination and the long talked about possibility of vaccine passports. Do you plan on getting vaccinated? Read some of the most interesting stories from last week here.<\/p>\n
