The 2021 travel risk forecast and risks that were predicted by our global team of intelligence analysts have been featured in several publications. These include Commerical Risk, PhocusWire, and the International Travel & Health Insurance Journal.
Riskline’s global team of analysts have researched these and other key trends for the year ahead. We also provide useful guidance for companies planning and managing employee travel in the year ahead.
Continued impact of Covid-19 on global travel
Even as the global travel industry gradually recovers from the absolute standstill that it experienced through most of 2020, the pandemic’s effect on the travel ecosystem will continue this year. The desire for countries to limit exposure to Covid-19 will put pressure on travellers to obtain mandatory documentation. Insurance, testing, pre-approved accommodation and, eventually, vaccination, prior to travel, impose additional cost burdens on travellers.
Entry and exit restrictions imposed by governments or their assessment of the Covid-19 situation in a traveller’s country of origin change at short notice, further complicating global travel. Travellers in most countries should continue to expect measures. These are health screening, quarantine and testing, socially distanced seating arrangements and contactless check-ins or transactions. Expect renewed lockdowns in high-risk areas and a reduction in capacity for transportation services of all kinds to be the new norm in 2021.
