Como estas? I had a very busy week with .... well not Simply Cuba! Since we cannot travel I have been doing some consulting work, why I was in remote part of Australia. To be honest it was great to be out and about, spending time with some people, not quite a tour... but we did have to go support the locals whilst looking after our people - was great to mingle with real people and also attend to restaurant visits, artisan markets, gin tasting (what a great success story that is! Starting their gin company mid-pandemic!). It's just not in Cuba... kind of made me feel homesick (and certainly a tad bit guilty as the guys couldn't come and join the fun! 🤗
Needless to say I didn't get to update itineraries and tour booklets, so am looking forward to getting back to Perth and back to focusing on our 2022 goals, tours and talking to our new photographers, helping them to make the return of tourism a positive and fun experience for all. Also managed to speak with our IT team, looking forward to seeing our new home page up and running soon 😎
In the meantime, I will be on a podcast over the weekend. Will share the episode with you once it is online! We will, be discussing the benefits of sustainable travel, how traveling sustainably will provide you with a deeper R&R, and how it's a great all-round experience for the visitor and communities visited.
When it comes to travel updates, our agent in UK wasn't filled with confidence that we will see movement in travel from UK till October 2021 😱 Australia still has no plan, but there are international flights being put on from October 2021, there has also been some change to working visas, although whilst they increased family visa caps were reduced. In Canada I hear some more rules been laxed. So that is good news...
It was interesting to read your opinions and inputs on the possibility of a Vaccination passport. In the meantime still no news on relaxing quarantine rules anywhere, even though people have had their full course of vaccinations. Hopefully, we can see a change here soon...
I am very much looking forward to delivering some good news soon... even though we are still not looking to re-start till 2022.
I'd love to share a blog with you... but the site is still being transferred and the blog is not yet back up and running! Will have to share all that next week.
Hope you have an amazing week.
Hasta luego 😎
