The Netherlands is ready to celebrate its 75 years of freedom since the end of WWII.

The country has a lot to offer which includes its 660km of Rio de la Plata and Atlantic shoreline, bubbling hot springs, a fine wine industry, and endless rolling rangelands. Visitors are welcome to just go laid-back and enjoy the beauty of the country’s landscape. Uruguay has something for everyone!

Bhutan

This tiny island operates a very high value, low-impact tourism policy which makes travelers pay a high daily fee just by visiting its monastery crowned hills. Those who visit Bhutan will be able to walk along mountain trails unsullied by litter. Those who follow Buddhism can uniquely be in tuned with the environment. It is also the world’s only carbon-negative country and is into becoming the first fully organic country by this year. With the fee they are offering, expect that this piece of paradise won’t be that crowded which you can take advantage of.

Travelling this year is not the same as how it was before. More and more people who are considering their journeys’ think about the impact they make on local communities, their destinations and to themselves.

The impact of Covid-19 on tourism has caused major changes in the way we travel. Gone are the days when we can interact with others freely. Although there may be a limit to where we go, we are still allowed to travel but with just some restrictions.

If you do have plans to travel, make sure to check the government ordinance where you are going since there are some restrictions to our travels these days. Travelling these days is not just about going to a new place and discovering what is in that location about. It is also about being aware of others and how our arrival at that new place can affect others.

Common restrictions and rules we should follow is social distancing. If you want to go to the beach to swim, how about travel locally? There is no need to travel to a different country these days since most countries are also close to travelers.

Travelling to your own country will also help local tourism. And, there are a lot of great places that you may not have seen and been in your own country. But again, check about government restrictions. It is good to enjoy a walk on the beach but if there are a lot of people doing the same thing, you may need to consider the location. The fewer people you interact these days, the better.

Don’t worry though! Soon all this will be over and we can get back to the way we use to do traveling but for now, let us keep each other safe.
