Coronavirus and travel, this is how tourism changes

How does tourism survive in times of coronavirus? Lowering prices or offering solutions of maximum flexibility. Given that for a few weeks (perhaps months) we will be far from being able to move around Italy and the world, however summer is not that far away and, Covid-19 permitting, it is also right to start making ourselves little thought. He is already trying to defend Italian tourism Sardinia portal, the online tour operator listed on the Stock Exchange and specialized precisely on the island of nuraghi: precisely to invite Italians (and why not foreigners) to choose despite everything for the summer holidays, it is offering exclusive advantages with the certainty of being able to cancel the booking until a few days before departure.

The platform, which is an OTA (therefore it could be considered a sort of Sardinian Booking), in common agreement with numerous hotels, residences, holiday homes and tourist villages, therefore offers the possibility of booking one's holiday using the free cancellation service: in the event of cancellation or cancellation up to a few days before departure, the traveler does not resort to penalties. Furthermore, for travelers who choose Sardinia this year, the innovative network of Sardinia Local Experts will be available, who, in the Portale Sardegna Point open in the main towns of the island, will offer special personalized assistance on site, to experience all the best experiences of the Sardinian territory, receiving support and information of all kinds.

“We have full confidence in the authorities – he commented Maximilian Cossu, Chief Executive Officer of Portale Sardegna - and in the prevention provisions adopted to contain the health emergency that has hit our beautiful country. Our hope is that these drastic measures will allow all Italians to spend their holidays in total safety in the months traditionally dedicated to rest. We are well aware that a challenge of this magnitude for our country can only be won with a strong spirit of renewed national unity and civic sense. In the awareness that a company must always react to changing market conditions, even the most adverse ones, and in order to reduce the worries of those who want to book summer holidays today, we have decided to introduce more flexible cancellation policies together with the operators, which allow to cancel the reservation without penalty up to three days before departure".
