The coronavirus pandemic has affected all sectors of world economy, as well as tourism. Mass tourism will lose strength for a time and the concept of highlighting hygiene conditions will be essential for this economic sector.
Cleaning Will be Very Important
Whether it is cruises, accommodations or hotels, they will have to change the way they monitor and clean the environment in which each Visitor interacts and communicates but keeping the expected comfort. Sanitation will be an important part of the “new visible measures” to show how clean the properties are and gain confidence of the Visitor.
Whether that means having hand sanitizer everywhere or regularly sanitizing hard surfaces, “There will be a clearly communicated regime to let guests know that everything being done is to keep them safe.
This means that each tourist will have to keep washing hands with soap or alcohol gel, pit on a masks when going out, keep distance from other tourists, as well as disinfecting personal products and accessories.
Fewer People in Every Place
It is very possible that for a while there will no longer be tables for 15 people, but family tables with a maximum of 6 seats. Entering and leaving the beaches will have its own protocol since there would be distances between the beach chairs along with social distancing. And yes, this lower density tourism will entail a higher cost for the tourist.
The post pandemic stage will create demand for boutique hotels that offer that feeling of distance and hygiene.
