I don't see how people stop traveling once Covid is gone (or at least reduced to a regular flu level of danger). Why would people ever prefer not to travel? I agree that some paranoid people won't travel until 5 years after the pandemic, but the vast majority of people will do.
- buboard 6y agotourism is one part of traveling. people from highly urbanized areas tend to travel long distances more (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aac9d2 https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aac9d2) .

- Mediterraneo10 6y agoSome people would definitely prefer not to travel if their potential destination still had major restrictions on foreigners entering. Forcing arriving travelers to quarantine themselves for two weeks in a hotel would automatically cut out most tourists, because relatively few people have that much holiday and would want to budget for two weeks of accommodation where they can’t go anywhere. Even softer measures like forcing travelers to install the local government’s app like in China might be a turnoff.
