Hello everyone !
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the tourism industry is being heavily affected due to the need to social distancing. This result in the plummeted travel demand, the downfall of many tourism-related business and hundreds of jobs lost.
However, in my perspective, this pandemic can be the chance for the development of a new kind of travelling, that is virtual tourism.
In the short run, this help people to go sightseeing around the globe without having to leave their houses. This will benefit not only the customer, but also the distributors, and especially the environment, as it gives time for recovery.
In the long run, virtual tourism is the key to reduce the strain of tourism on the environment. If the virtual reality technology got more advanced and more interactive, then people would be more likely to choose this low-cost alternative. This would result in decreased carbon emission ( from transportation such as planes, cars, trains, … ) and less stress on the tourists destinations.
