Few ways to help Travel & Tourism Industry
If you have followed our series, you must be wondering, What can I do to help support the travel & tourism industry during these hard times? Well, here you go:
• Work with a View
A lot of you guys are bored of Work from home. We too are, so we recommend to try out “Workation”. You get a change of scenery at sanitized, COVID-safe, cosy rooms at your local hotels & resorts with top-notch WiFi & multicuisine food. Also, work away without the troubles of household-chores! 👩💻
• Consider tipping delivery guys
With most places going back in business, contactless delivery services are also available these days. So if at all you decide to order online, be it from Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon or Flipkart, don’t forget to tip the delivery guys. Every penny counts.
• Did you know “Staycation” is the top Googled word of 2020 ? 🏠
Why not explore your local tourist spots & support the local economy while reviving the travel industry ? Post-covid, visit your local beach, take a walk through the historical fort that you last visited as a child and spend some time at the parks of your locale.
• Book now, Pay Later
Various travel & tour operators are offering to plan & book a trip now but pay in full later when COVID eases. Daydream of travelling again just by paying a min. advance fee. 💵
• Sign up for @StandWithTravel
a crowdfunding initiative to save small local travel businesses from COVID!
Managed by The Responsible travel club of Ithaka, they aim to identify small businesses across tourism hotspots in India who are in most need, from tour operators, guides, homestays and hostels to adventure activities and cafes.
Pay Rs.1000 or more and get twice the credit redeemable on your travel with the benefitted vendors or partnered brands from Zoomcars, Paytm flights, Vista rooms to more.
Simply saying #vocalforlocal won’t do, so sign up & take action! ✅🔈
