There is no doubt that with the pandemic, global travel will never be the same again. Most countries such as Kenya that heavily rely on tourism to boost their coffers will have to go back to the drawing board and reset their travel itineraries in view of the new reality, including curating new travel experiences.

The global travel and tourism sector has already had to undergo a lot of changes over the last two years, trying to find a way to rise again. But what is undeniable is that, even when a semblance of normality returns (no one knows when), travel will not be the same as pre-pandemic.
