What Would a Timeline for Travel's Reopening Look Like

I am a sucker for good charts, that much you all know by now. Today I came across this good timeline-of-reopening visualization by our good friends at Twenty31,  the tourism consultancy, in a report they did for Tourism Industry Association of Canada titled “State of Tourism in Canada during COVID-19”.

Based on Twenty31’s research from monitoring and speaking to various multiple global and Canadian media sources, associations, think tanks, and expert opinion from the tourism industry and government, it has come up with a timeline chart, for a potential fall reopening of the travel sector in the Western world.

According to its report:

• Global: The return to tourism (starting with domestic travel) is expected to return close to the end of June / beginning of July timeframe for some destinations around the world. Some destinations (Spain, Australia) are hinting that tourism may not return this year.
• Canada: Leading indicators continue to point to an easing of travel restrictions occurring gradually starting with inter- and intra-provincial travel (around mid / end of June / beginning of July), followed by regional travel (mid-July), and eventually international short-haul (mid- to late-August) and long-haul travel (into the fall).
