After COVID-19 struck two years ago, most of us were in quarantine. People left their houses only in the event of dire emergency, while they shopped, sought medical advice, attended hybrid meetings, and became educated from the comfort of home. One thing the general public did not do was travel. Vacations weren’t taken, not even weekend getaways. Lodgings, restaurants, and attractions soon sat empty, or nearly so, as much of their workforce was furloughed.
When travel finally resumed, it was in the form of a trickle, not a surge. Young adults were the first to appear. In most instances, they visited friends or relatives living nearby. Next came trips to outdoor settings. It would be months before the vast majority of people considered staying overnight in commercial lodgings, dining out, and attending events with large crowds. Air travel took even longer.
Well written. Curious if you think all the negative letters about "those from away" or the lack of public restrooms for visitors, or the uncertainty of booking a STR are a contributing factor in MWV. If visitors are not made to feel welcomed they will spend their money elsewhere.
