During the Pandemia of Coronavirus, business travelers had to abandon the working trips for a long time, or minimize them. To a large extent, this affected foreign business trips due to the suspension of air traffic and the ban on the entry of foreign citizens, but in peak periods and internal movements were at risk.
Now, due to mass vaccination, the pandemic is declining, and you can already make forecasts how travel will look after coronavirus. Many experts agree that some of the restrictions and safety measures introduced during the pandemic may stay with us for a long time. In this article, we give several recommendations on how to correctly organize a business trip in the new conditions.
Carefully plan all the details of the trip
First of all, it is necessary to collect information about the current situation in the country or region of destination. It is important to make sure that a total locout has not been introduced there, there is a transport message, entry for foreigners (if the trip is foreign) and the probability of introducing strict restrictions during the trip is minimal.
It is also useful to clarify the conditions for entering the country, as they can constantly change. For example, a certificate of the negative result of the Coronavirus test is mandatory when entering most countries.
Of course, no one is safe from force majeure circumstances, but the collection of detailed information will help to avoid many troubles.
Buy tickets with the possibility of a return
The risks of traveling after the pandemic are still high, so it makes sense to purchase tickets with the possibility of free return or transfer.
Although many airlines are ready to reimburse part of the ticket value when canceling flights related to the introduction of Lockdown or the suspension of air traffic, there is no unified return policy. In addition, in the case of the cancellation of the event, even because of the introduction of anti -like restrictions, there will be no grounds for returning the ticket.
So buying tickets at a reciprocal tariff will help save and reduce risks in conditions of uncertainty.
Make insurance
For most foreign trips, the presence of medical insurance is mandatory. However, many people consider it something excess that you can save money for internal travels for internal travels. But the experience of pandemia and increased risks make these ideas revise.
Now many insurance companies include the coating of insured events associated with the COVID-19 disease in their policies. The company can also be profitable to issue insurance for an employee, as insurance premiums will be taken into account when calculating income tax.
Follow WHO recommendations
Most anti-icing recommendations remain in force after a decline in pandemia, as they help to resist the spread of infections and diseases transmitted by airborne droplets.
Therefore, it is also also important to observe the social distance, regularly wash your hands and treat them with an antiseptic, wear a mask in places of mass accumulation of people, and in case of malaise to refrain from personal meetings.
