"In 2019, international travel and tourism was a $1.7 trillion global industry.
A new cruise ship with space for 6600 passengers was launched. And dog friendly
holidays in the French Riviera were seen as the next big tourism trend.
On social media, travel influencers and bloggers vied for commissions and
audiences, while the more “old school” travel writers and journalists continued
to report from all corners of the world. The grey area around ethics and
sponsorship was murkier than ever – and there was of course, an environmental
cost: from the carbon footprint of frequent flyers to the social and cultural
impact on over-touristed destinations.
Still, the industry was booming.
Then, along came COVID-19."
