It's going to be a while, folks

When will people start traveling full throttle again? It may take a year. In the interim, vacations and mini-vacations will look quite different, the experts say. People mostly will go by motor vehicle. They will prefer the outdoors — open spaces. And safety will be the top priority. Usually, the priority is a great experience. Now the experience takes a back seat to their safety and the safety of their families. I heard all this, and more, at a webinar produced by the School of Sport, Tourism and Hospitality Management at Temple University. (Temple is my alma mater, though my degree is from the School of Communications, Department of Radio, Television and Film). And then, this group of experts discussed how long it will take for the world to return to somewhat normal. They think it might not be until next January. This coincides with other things that I have heard. I hope all of them are wrong. I think you would too, So what do we do? We keep doing what we are doing. And that’s doing the very best we can.
