Although the global Covid 19 pandemic has dramatically impacted world travel in 2020 and possibly for years to come, it has not significantly impacted the desire of people to travel - to go on holidays, see new places and enjoy new experiences.
While most high-risk disease "hot spots" are usually well identified, the Covid 19 pandemic has also encouraged many people to look closer to home where hopefully they can travel with relative safety.
This quickly led to the discovery of many hidden local gems, which is impacting on the popularity of destinations and creating opportunities for new experiences.
Holiday Destinations Around The World was created in 2008 to promote the world's many fascinating destinations and it has continued to grow to encompass hundreds of pages and informative stories and images.

- Keep a 1-5 metre (five foot) "social distance" distance and wash hands regularly.
- Take adequate pandemic PPE, such as effective masks, hand sanitiser, etc.
- Avoid trips where you are in confined spaces, such as long cruises, bus tours and long flights.
