We still don’t know when this pandemic that has hit all of us will end, although it is true that we still see the light at the end of the tunnel, the masks, the distances, and the gels will be with us for a long time.
Many countries have already started to open their borders again, but many others are still debating whether to reactivate tourism or not, while others have only opted for local or national tourism. Little by little the measures are disappearing.
Despite this uncertainty, it is still possible to travel, albeit with precautions, as well as taking into account a series of recommendations that will make your honeymoon in 2022 go as smoothly as possible.
A honeymoon is the most desired trip for all couples! So, read on!
1. Make sure there is a cancellation policy
Many travel agencies, flight companies, hotels, and tour companies have already included the possibility of cancellation in their policies. This is because when the pandemic came upon us all, countless people were unable to get their money back, change their dates or go on their trips.
So, make sure that when you book your travel services, companies allow you to cancel in case something unexpected happens at the last minute. Now many companies offer a full refund, others let you book a trip without a departure date, and others give you a voucher to spend later for the full amount.
Put your mind at ease knowing that you can cancel your order and you won’t lose your money!
2. Ask if there is a possibility of date changes
Many couples have already postponed their honeymoon departure date numerous times, so many companies have taken into account the option of flexible date changes, which means that if, for some remote reason, you can’t make your trip, you can postpone the date and make it later.
Be sure of this option because many hotels or agencies do not refund the money, but they do allow you to make the trip in the future.
This is another way to be sure that sooner or later you will be able to make your trip without losing your money.
3. Research the destination’s Covid measures before you travel
According to the country you are planning to travel to, there are certain warnings based on the level of risk the country is at that moment. There are even places where you are advised not to travel unless it is absolutely necessary.
That’s why before you travel, and especially when the departure date is coming up, you should research all existing Covid warnings and measures in the country, as well as destination restrictions, as many countries require a quarantine, Covid passport, or even a negative PCR test.
Make sure you don’t have any surprises!
4. Buy travel insurance!
Before this pandemic health crisis, most travel insurance policies did not cover pandemics, but things have changed.
New insurance policies now cover pandemic-related cancellations, so don’t hesitate and buy travel insurance for your peace of mind.
(Our advice is to find out whether it is cheaper to buy travel insurance or to book travel insurance with cancellation).
5. Get advice from a travel agent
Taking into account the opinion of a travel professional can make your trip even more successful, as professionals such as travel agents are most of the time informed about the different requirements, measures, restrictions that exist due to Covid in a country.
It is never a bad thing!
6. Think about private transfers
The new normality has created new ways of travelling, such as going to less crowded places where there are no crowds of people. For this reason, public transport such as metros, buses, and others are best left aside for a while.
Our recommendation is to use private transport such as transfers, taxis, rental cars and so on to avoid maximum contact.
In addition, all companies have carried out various cleaning and disinfection measures to ensure the safety of the clients.
7. Travel to less crowded places
Travelling to those paradisiacal and isolated beaches you have always dreamed of, such as the Maldives or the Black Forest, now is the best option. Overcrowded tourism does not ensure the safe distances and tranquillity of travellers.
Countless residents have complained about the many tourists who visit cities and do not behave in a civic and responsible manner, as is the case of places such as Barcelona, Venice, Ibiza, Benidorm, etc.
8. Think about the currency exchange!
Who doesn’t want to get more for less? Take advantage of the opportunity and find out where you can buy more things for less money. What’s the reason for this? Currency depreciation.
As you all know, the world economy has undergone a drastic change and it will be hard to get it back to the way it was before. In some countries more than in others. That is why we recommend that you make sure you know the current exchange rate before you book your honeymoon.
It will also help you to know in which destinations the currency has been revalued and everything has become more expensive!
Remember not to travel if you have symptoms or are suffering from the disease! It’s still time to stay responsible.
