The rise of COVID-19 over the course of 2020 has certainly led to global tragedy. Humans, however, are an extremely adaptable species and have innovated in order to persevere. Travel, one of the industries most affected by the pandemic, has also been a breeding ground for creative thought and many tour and activity agencies have rolled out imaginative new programs for their prospective clients. These include small and private group tours, walking tours through remote locations, virtual tours, and rebranding schemes that focus on local audiences.
If you find yourself in need of some vision for your own tour and activity business, other agencies and their creative solutions can be an infinite pool of inspiration. Just make sure that you aren’t poaching the work of your direct competitors. Also, make sure that any idea that you use is appropriately adapted to your business niche!
