Travel and quarantine warnings – Many Swiss aren’t sure where the best places to go on vacation are and how safe it is to book a trip. Travel has changed significantly since the outbreak of the corona pandemic. In “Blick,” industry experts give advice on how the Swiss still don’t have to go without their fall break.
Frustration instead of anticipation
“The joy of the trip has given way to great frustration,” the president of the Swiss Travel Association (SRV), Max Katz, told the newspaper. In the travel industry, nerves are on the edge: “The alarm level is red,” Katz said.
SRV Managing Director Walter Kunz confirms: “Travel planning is extremely difficult because we have no security in planning due to BAG’s ever-changing quarantine list.”
Clarify cancellation conditions
Traveling by car on vacation is becoming increasingly popular, a survey by insurance affiliate Allianz Partners shows. The Swiss plan to travel less far. Holidays in Switzerland are particularly popular right now, according to Olaf Nink (59), director of Allianz Partners.
In addition, the Swiss now pay much more attention to the costs of a possible trip cancellation: “In the times of Corona, cancellation costs are seen as the most important component when booking a trip”, explains Olaf Nink to ” Blick “.
“Do not book until the cancellation conditions for a trip have been clarified,” advises Walter Kunz. In this way surprises can be avoided. In addition, the entry and exit regulations and the federal government quarantine list must be observed. Crown regulations at the travel destination should also be verified prior to travel.
Book at the travel agency
Currently, holidays are still possible in, for example, Greece, Portugal, France and Germany, but that could change at any time. So it makes sense to book the tour package at a travel agency, Hotelplan spokeswoman Bianca Gähweiler told “Blick.”
Therefore, the trip can be rebooked free of charge or money refunded if the destination of the trip is on the quarantine list.
