As the novel coronavirus lashes out from every direction, the travel industry has teamed up with the one possible factor that hypnotises even the most hesitant traveller – cheaper ticket prices<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. With the industry, including the airlines, set to take a hit worth a few billion, the damage control seems to be setting in, as travellers around the world appear to be capitalising on the less wallet-wrenching fares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost every traveller\nwould have a field day with this drop if it was not for the warnings issued by\nthe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These mandatory regulations\nseem to bind down some weary travellers, but as the temptation rises, more\npeople have reportedly bought the newly priced tickets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism is not\nflourishing as of right now; by any means, the novel coronavirus, which was\nrecently crowned as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, still\nshows no sign of slowing down. As it has now officially infected over 126,000\nand killed over 4,500 people around the world. So, the perception of offering\nlower-priced tickets to elevate the hopes of travel seems strategic, to say the\nleast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As opposed to the\npredicted reaction, Millennials seem to have made the best of a bad deal! With\na sprint of uproarious excitement, college students and other budding\ntravellers have seized this as an opportunity to live life to the fullest while\nthey still can. Flooding Twitter and other social media platforms with an\nextensive range of TikTok’s and meme’s that spark with dark humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, for the people asking the million-dollar question “should I go ahead and book a cheap holiday<\/span><\/strong><\/a>?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you might sign up\nfor more than what you bargained for, there are still ways you could dodge the\ninfectious throws of the virus on your getaway to find whatever that laced with\nyour wanderlust. These rules have been quoted and coveted at every part of the\ninternet by now, but the key factors include washing your hand, keeping your\ndistance away from fellow humans who seem infected and visit the doctor at the\nslightest hint of a possible symptom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, mass public\ncongregations have been cancelled and walking into a sprawling airport full of\npeople you do not know seems like the definition of what you should not be\ndoing at times like these. Nevertheless, low prices are low prices!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All risks considered,\nvisiting a country with a low statistic of the virus might also be of\nassistance to a specific measure. If the country does not seem drenched in\nconfirmed cases of the global infection, then you might not have much to\ncontemplate over. However, if second thoughts over travelling fill your\nheadspace as you read this, you’ll have to assess the fine print of your travel\nagreement. Apparently, a pandemic that threatens the existence of life on earth\ndoes not get you your money back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, keep up with the novel coronavirus<\/span><\/strong><\/a> through our live updates and read through our article, highlighting the 16 airlines dropping change fees as a reflection of the outbreak. Finally, we hope you travel safely if you do, in fact, decide to book a holiday<\/span><\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
