I don't see how travel will recover anytime soon. As one who has hammered the Australian government on restrictions previously, I'm very happy with what they've done and the direction they are moving, however, they're still not allowing tourists, which is hard on the economy. Singapore is one of the world's major hubs and is a popular country with people all over the globe - and they made this massive announcement last August about how they would "live with the virus". This has turned out to be utter BS. They have these VTL lanes with only 24 countries and the VTL process isn't exactly easy or cheap. They don't even allow transit if you have two different tickets.You have Europe, once the most lenient for travel now going back and blocking many countries and making it very hard for others. I think finally, it is clear that if you're not vaccinated travel is near on impossible for you. I'm fully jabbed and I strongly advocate vaccination, but unfortunately there are millions upon millions who can't get access to a vaccine. Until this is solved, travel will be pushed back even more. I just don't see how travel can recover anytime soon if I'm honest because there are still many, many, roadblocks everywhere, which don't seem like abating anytime soon.</blockquote>
