International tourism virtually ground to a halt in 2020, leaving countless would-be jet-setters stuck at home. Yet at the same time, many people took the chance to re-evaluate how and why they travel. Could sustainability concerns reshape the ways that Britons plan their holidays post-pandemic?

Anxiety is high as COVID-19 restriction ease but Britons are still looking to get away during the summer. As the lockdown measures are relaxed and people start venturing farther afield, Canopy & Stars is boosting confidence by showing a different side to British staycations.

The draw of many restaurants is their atmosphere, something that’s hard to come by with limited seating capacities and heightened hygiene measures. Some hotels are opening up their empty rooms as private dining suites to offer VIP-style escapism and exclusivity.

With the future of travel still in the balance, brands are working to rethink their offerings to attract people in a post-COVID era. On one Maldives resort, private ‘bubbles’ offer a unique getaway on a secluded beach, easing people's safety worries while turning isolation into a fun experience.
