POST COVID19 TRAVEL PLAN
There will indeed be a tomorrow beyond this crisis and travel will help us recuperate with a lot of nourishment and care.
2020 will always be remembered as the year of the dreadful Corona Virus. There can be no other way to remember it. But beyond these years which change the course of mankind, how do you remember other years? Some years have important milestones that make them memorable – got married, had kids, moved to a new country. But other years, we mostly remember for the new or unique experiences we’ve had. And more often than not, we have these memorable experiences when we travel.
Travel is food for the soul. It nourishes us, helps us connect with our loved ones and strangers alike, makes us feel so small and also on top of the world at the same time. Travel gives us the challenge to try new cuisines, to learn new languages, to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. It makes us grateful. Every time we travel, a small part of us changes forever.
No doubt, this world will not come to an end. Scientists, doctors and health care workers will save us. There will indeed be a tomorrow beyond this crisis. But it would be a world that would need a lot of nourishment and care to recuperate. Perhaps for the first time since the ice age, human beings have travelled as little as they have now. It is a huge trauma for the collective humankind.
The Travel industry will have to play a big role in bringing this world back to good health. We may be sound in body, but travel will bring back our spirits. We are preparing the groundwork for everyone to see the world once more. We must ensure people feel safe when they venture out once again. We need to take extra care of the very young and the very old. Most importantly, we have to get the world dreaming again, of visiting new places, of meeting new people, of making new memories.After all the waiting, come 2021, a year when we start to travel again! Once the doctors are done with their duties, we will be ready to play our part in healing the world!
Let’s start our planning for travel to new places and new destinations in nearby region or far away land. Utilizing our experience and expertise, knowledge and acumen, we will travel the world together to explore the various beautiful sceneries and landscapes of our neighbouring countries and cities of ancient capitals of the world with historical monuments, palaces and relics showcasing the past.
Join us at Going Places Travel Pte. Ltd. for another journey to many exotic places to saviour the food delicacies and to enjoy the pleasant unique atmospheres bringing back with sweet memories to treasure forever.
LOOKING FORWARD
Come the day when we can wander again, lovers of travel have a very interesting road ahead. It’s become inevitable that we can’t go back to exploring the world the way we used to, we need to go forward – and that’s exactly what we are planning to do for the next leg of the journey.
Countries are only just starting to emerge from the haze of COVID-19, but for many, the prospect of tourism is beginning to look promising again. Most of us have accepted that travel as we know it will have to change, but countries are looking to that future and for ways to help travellers feel ready to take to the skies once again.
The universal appeal of travel is that it has served as a way for us to broaden our horizons, understand different cultures and experience the unknown. So while the how and where we travel will be different for a while, why we travel doesn’t need to.
Many hot spots are prepping for summer travel and believe it or not, in light of this people are booking trips. For some people, this is an opportunity to take advantage of flight deals and offers, a chance to visit places without feeling the pinch on their wallets. For others, it’s been a time to commit to a dream adventure in 2021.
If you’re serious about taking a trip in the coming months, it’s important to remember that while destinations are opening up, some come with a caveat. Certain countries are letting everyone in, while other countries are looking to travel bubbles or are only considering travellers from selected countries.
Beyond hand sanitizer, masks, and gloves you’ll need to take some other things into consideration. Travelling safely in a post-COVID era means being mindful of things to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
Some countries are also asking travellers for 14-day quarantine on arrival, which may not be feasible for a lot of travellers. Remember you may also have to do 14-day quarantine once you go back to your home country too. Some countries will also require visitors to take a COVID-19 test on arrival. It’s important to keep all this in mind because while you might be dreaming of visiting Iceland and Greece, based on where you live in the world it might make more sense for you to opt for a different destination.
How many destinations on your travel wish list are located in your home or neighbouring countries. Let’s explore destinations in nearby countries as opposed to far-flung countries across the globe.
Sure, there’s something undeniably alluring about all those faraway locales, but spending quality time discovering your home and native land can be just as fulfilling as exploring unfamiliar countries and cultures.
So, start thinking about all the places you want to visit that are a bit closer to home — you know the places you keep saying you’ll visit “someday.” Maybe it’s a world-famous national park, a must-see monument, or a place you visited as a child and want to experience with fresh eyes as an adult.
Wherever you choose to go, one thing is certain: you will return with fond memories of what we have to offer.

12 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD USE TRAVEL AGENCY
The recent trend of online booking has made many customers opting to make their own travel arrangements. And while that option seem enticing, a travel agent will provide you with a better service that is faster and more affordable. When you plan your trip with a travel agent you will save time, money and avoid frustration! Here we explain the reasons why choosing an agent is the best choice for planning your trip:
1. Experience :
Travel Agents have mastered all the steps of the travel booking procedure - from the initial planning of when and where to go, which airline to deal with, to which tour operator best suits you and your lifestyle. You only have to choose the correct travel advisor that will make your experience remarkable.
2. The Travel Agent Does the Work for You :
Life is hectic enough as it is! Who has time to search everywhere for the best deals, reviews, make bookings for flights, hotels, tours, train reservations and travel insurance? We do! Take a load of stress off your life and let a Travel Agent do the work for you! We'll keep you in the loop during the entire process and ensure that the options we send your way meet all of your needs.
3. We're in the Market :
Travel Agents work within the limitations of your budget and will help you save money in any way possible. We can advise you about the best time to travel - because sometimes simply switching your dates can save you hundreds of dollars!
4. Travel Agents Know the Best Places to Visit :
We can help you by providing candid information about the best places to visit and what to do at your desired destination, without having to examine thousands of unreliable reviews online.
5. The Clarification of Restrictions & Fees :
Many restrictions and fees are not apparent to the customer when they book a ticket. The online travel sites show you what you want to see, but not what is really there. Let the travel agent explain to you all the restrictions in your booking without you having to face troubles and difficulties.
6. Travel Restrictions.
The online travel sites will never inform you about the travel restrictions that may face your nationality during your trip. Many bookings are offered with many stops at several countries without any alert if you can enter these countries without any visa pre-arrangements for the transit area. On the other hand, when you consult a travel advisor you will have all the necessary information needed to avoid any difficulties and unexpected complications during your trip.
7. We Have Got Your Back When It comes to Flight Delays / Cancellations
When you book online you will certainly not have any support in case of flight cancellations or delays. Howeve, when you book through a travel agent they will help and offer you the necessary information to proceed with your flight in the best method available at that moment.
8. Travelling with a Group
Travelling in a group involves coordinating multiple services and information. That is why it is always better to make the arrangements with a travel agent. In general, all the group bookings are subject to several changes and inquiries, like the number of participants, special requests, last minute cancellations, etc. These cases are easy to handle for a travel agent who can make all the necessary modifications and plans in a professional manner at minimum cost.
9. Travel Advice
Sometimes the traveller does not know exactly where to go, or the best season for a specific destination. When you read online reviews for a certain hotel or city you will find yourself losing time and effort. An experienced travel advisor can help you find what you are looking for and make the right decision. In addition, if you work with a specific agent, they will become familiar with your needs making it easier for them to help you choose a promotion you will enjoy.
10. Travelling for the First Time or Globally
If it is your first time travelling, certainly you will need some information and advice about the country that you are visiting in addition to travelling procedures and requirements. At the time when you travel globally or to a place you have never been to before, it is wiser to consult your travel agent and have all the required information for a safe trip.
11. Best Prices
The best prices are not always online. Prices on international carriers can vary widely, the travel agent can keep checking frequently for the best price and routing your voyage and let you know when is the best time to buy the ticket. Let the agent do that job for you.
12. Finding Rooms that are Unavailable Online
Online you will find that many hotels are fully booked, but in reality it is not always the case. Many properties hold some rooms in reserve while others maybe in hands of some tour operators. When you book with a travel agent they will help you with these difficulties and try to book your desired hotel.
Thank you for your valued support.
Warmest Regards
