This year we had booked a 2 week summer holiday to Laguna Park in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria which we were all so excited about and looking forward too. Bulgaria is somewhere that I have been with work but the family have never been and we thought it would be somewhere different from the Mediterranean resorts we typically go too.
Although the holiday has not yet officially been cancelled by Tui, I think that given the Covid-19 situation it is safe to say we will not be going now. We are all absolutely gutted and needed this holiday badly. Fortunately we had only paid a small deposit so hopefully don't stand to lose much money, maybe we will get it re-booked for next year, but that seems an awful long way away!!! Even then it is questionable whether we will be able to travel as I can't see travelling abroad ever being as easy as it used to be and if social distance measures cannot be relaxed then holiday flights may become a thing of the past due to affordability with planes only being a a fraction full. Even if social distancing is relaxed, will countries impose a 14 day social distancing when you travel in or out? Again if so this would kill off holidays abroad as you would need to take 6 weeks off work for a 2 week holiday!
How scary is it to think you may never holiday abroad again if Covid-19 and social distancing kill the tourism / travel industry. I think back to some of the places we have traveled and some of the memories we have made as a couple before kids and as a growing family, and I just think it would be devastating if we never had these opportunities again. I guess only time will tell.
