TRAVELERS CAN BE A HERO HELPING PEOPLE!
The COVID crisis has been very unfortunate for many people. People all around the world are struggling to support their families. TRAVELERS CAN HELP!
When this crisis subsides and when it is safe to travel again, travelers can help those who work in hospitality to support their families. Many people in the affected
areas make their living with tourism and when it is hurt with an
unexpected occurrence, they suffer. Your business is greatly needed and appreciated. You can be a travel hero while benefiting from good travel bargains - a WIN-WIN experience!

| Travelers Can Be a HERO Helping Others |
Because many travel experiences will be offering travel bargains to get things going again, travel bargains can be had on tours, cruises, hotels, airlines, etc. This is a WIN-WIN situation for everyone. Hospitality workers will be receiving assistance supporting their families after great worry having their income disappear... and travelers can experience more travel to their dream destinations at more affordable prices.
We have had some wonderful trips costing us half the
normal cost by using our ‘Follow the Disaster’ travel-planning model. This idea
takes some careful explanation. When an unexpected negative experience happens, people cancel their planned trips. For months, sometimes years,
tourism will be significantly reduced and people in the hospitality industry are suffering.

We have benefited from many examples of this. For example, years ago, when
China experienced the SARS outbreak, people were rightfully concerned about
traveling there. Fortunately for us they stayed concerned long after the
outbreak was over. Years later, for about half of what you would normally
expect to pay, we took a terrific trip to China visiting the Great Wall,
Forbidden City, & Tiananmen Square in Beijing; the Terracotta Soldiers in
Xian; the beautiful canal city of Suzhou; and the incredible modern city of Shanghai. And people greatly appreciated us treating us like Heros helping them.

This concept also applies to an economic recession like after the Cororavirus crisis. When we retired during the Global economic downturn starting in 2009, we took a 3-year
travel adventure around the world. We were able to negotiate much lower prices for accommodations even in peak times for
hotels that were only 40% occupied when a couple years previously required a
year in advance to get a reservation. Tours, cruises, flights, car rentals, and
meals were all significantly more affordable. We
have been so fortunate to have visited 100 countries because we now
travel for about half what other do for all levels of travel from budget
to luxury.
A word of caution is more than appropriate when
considering the ‘follow the disaster’ travel-planning model. First, ‘follow’ is
the key word. Be sure conditions are safe where you are planning to visit.
Usually you will have time to do so because people are overly concerned for a
period of time after any disaster. Do your research, be aware of travel
warnings, and talk to travel experts knowledgeable of the country you are
planning to visit.
BE HERO AND 'FOLLOW THE DISASTER' WIN-WIN HELPING PEOPLE!
