Travel in 2021 is still looking somewhat uncertain and it is clear that it will be a gradual process for the world to return to full scale international travel. We expect that there will be a some international travel starting from the summer of 2021 and we want to make the most of this and we believe that more meaningful travel will resume in 2022. Imaginative Traveller and our sister brand Dragoman are in this for the long term. We luckily came into this from a strong place and with the great support that we have had from clients, staff, suppliers and the government, we are in a solid place to weather the storm.
We see the recovery of travel as a phased event. First will be the opening up of mainstream domestic and short haul travel. Long haul international travel will follow but will be far harder to predict. We will of course have to take into account host nations vaccination programmes and willingness to open borders and allow free travel, as well as our own government’s willingness to allow travellers to visit the destinations to which we will be travelling.
For the rest of 2021 we will be operating on a skeleton staff basis but we will be available to help with existing bookings, to take new bookings for future travel and our Travel in Confidence with Imaginative Traveller policy (which can be found here, www.imaginative-traveller.com/imaginative-traveller-confidence-toolkit) will remain in place for as long as necessary. This means that we can be very flexible with your bookings.
Therefore we would ask for your understanding; you will still be able to contact us via email for any requests and our sales team will be able to call you back if you require a phone conversation. Please rest assured that we are still around to answer any queries; it might just take longer than usual for us to get back to you.
Contact the team if you have any questions.
Happy travels for whenever we can resume!
The Imaginative Traveller team
