The way we travel will be irrevocably altered following the drastic consequences of the coronavirus. Already several lessons for travellers have emerged which we'll all be wise to consider when international tourism eventually resumes.
The first pandemic in more than a century has sent shockwaves throughout the world with no one more vulnerable than the international traveller. The events of recent weeks have emphasised the fragility of travel and how exposed travellers can be in a major crisis.
It's tempting to switch off from world events overseas when you're on holiday. But, as recent events have underscored, it's vital you stay in touch with the news for sudden or developing local or international crises. Don't rely on gossip-riddled social media alone as a news source as it can lead you badly astray and potentially into danger but trusted services and titles such as the BBC, CNN, The New York Times and, of course, our own The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
