Now more than ever, we need to be responsible travelers.
As the world opens back up for tourism, slowly but surely, more and more people are traveling.
Sure, the number of summer travelers will be nowhere close to what it is was in 2019 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, there are still people taking to the skies and hitting the open road for a different travel experience.
With COVID-19 cases on the rise in a number of US states though, it is imperative that if you plan to travel, you do so responsibly.

Otherwise, we may be headed for further lockdowns. Just this past weekend, the Bahamas closed its borders to US travelers because of the rise in cases.
Other destinations could follow suit if things don’t improve here in the US.
I’m not going to tell you to not travel anywhere. It’s your life and you can make your own choices, but I urge you to be responsible no matter how you’re traveling this summer.
Wear a mask wherever you go in public and do your best to be socially distant. Of course, that is a challenge while seated on an airplane given some airlines aren’t blocking middle seats. But by wearing a mask, washing your hands with soap and also using hand sanitizer, you can limit the risk of spreading any virus.
The reality of travel right now is that there is a risk. It’s a risk that some are willing to take, whereas others don’t feel comfortable at the moment. And you know what? That’s totally OK.
But for those of us who have had such pent-up demand to get back out and explore new and familiar places, it is crucial that we do so responsibly.
