As the summer draws to a close and fully vaccinated travel starts to become easier, here at The Independent we are keen to answer the question: what happens next?
The travel traffic light system remains as confusing as ever, with the rules changing every few weeks for those wishing to travel abroad, as well as those hoping to travel into the UK. And there is no escaping the bleak fact that the pandemic has decimated the travel industry over the past year and half, but what does the future hold?
During The Independent’s next virtual travel event, our very own renowned travel expert Simon Calder will be hosting a panel discussion on what is likely to happen next to travel and whether the future is as bright as we all might be hoping for.
Simon will be joined by two experts who only know too well how much impact all the restrictions have had on travelling both within the UK and places further afield. The Chief Executive of Visit Cornwall Malcolm Bell and Chief Executive of Advantage Travel Partnership, Julia Lo Bue-Said, will be touching on the reality of staycations and what their future holds, as well as tips for planning a holiday abroad and if we can ever expect any sense of normality when it comes to booking a break away.
