4. Part 4. The travel trends in 2022
No-touch while traveling after the COVID-19 pandemic not only refers to limiting person-to-person contact as well as a contact with the object and surfaces but also to travel experience with their automated devices and technologies.
An amicable and effective travel staycation is a form of travel within close proximity which means you will experience what you have locally. Staycation is an opportunity for you to discover interesting things near your living area that you have missed before.
Vietnam, despite the COVID-19 tourism trend, has gradually become popular since 2019 and adds a pandemic that has not had any signs of being completely under control. The tourist trend is still loved by travel enthusiasts.
Traveling towards isolated and little-known areas is one of the trends that will be popular after COVID19. People recognize that they need health and according to the focus of the word to get my organization to kiss as you are associated with the Halloween will Starley in the post-COVID-19 and got Globo wellness to receive that they desire to be schooled reach revenue of US my 19 billion in 2022.
After the COVID-19 people don’t want to stay in the crowded city. They don’t want to stay at the hotel or resort they want but they want to spend their vacation in the remote area or in the mountains and arrow.
5. DISCUSSION
1. Hello, I’m Martin. I just want to know which is the safest area for traveling in Southeast Asia now?
-> Now, we have Sandbox in Thailand and the Phu Quoc Cam Ranh in Vietnam, that cold blue zone area that the government makes so we can travel safely.
2. Do we need any specific visas to come to Cambodia?
-> 211A Visa and 211B Visa for coming to Cambodia for work. One-year visa for the project like 313. But with Vietnamese people or Asia people, we don’t need any specific visa but are fully vaccinated.
3. How soon after opening borders will be possible to travel between ASEAN countries?
-> Countries across Southeast Asia, targeting the year-end holidays, are taking cautious steps to reopen their borders as tourists with proof of COVID-19 vaccination join the mix of students, business travelers, and returning residents entering the region.
