HOW DOES TRAVEL AGENCIES OPERATE DURING PANDEMIC?

Updated: Sep 14, 2020

Hi readers! Welcome to Apparate’s First and New Travel Blog!




Apparate Blogs are dedicated to those who are fond of reading, it also allow us to expand our interaction with our clients and potentials customers, to provide further travel information and to show you the entrepreneur perspective in the travel and tourism industry.



Apparate travel and tours is a trusted online home-based travel agency that will reach you wherever you are in the world. As of today with growing digital users (especially when the pandemic hit us) we are now also staying at home, operating transactions online, riding to the new normal.


Although COVID-19 hit a major fall down in the travel and tourism industry, the desire of the owner opening a travel agency business during quarantine is at risk but also see as a challenge and opportunity.



When the governments implement quarantine, the whole world stopped running, the malls are closed, the restaurants, tourist attractions, the airports that are always open, the cars and other modes of transportation that always moving had stop, and force everyone to stay at home. So why operating a travel agency is an opportunity?



When you have an entrepreneur mindset, you take advantage of the problems in front of you. Because business is providing a solution to your problems.



You are hungry but lazy to cook? There are fast foods and ready cooked food providers. Problem solve!



When the lock down has started, many of us stuck in a place that is not our home. Many of us had lost our jobs and would rather to go back home. When the airports and vehicles are started operating the demand of travel is now available. Those who are branded Local Stranded Individuals (LSI), Authorized Persons Outside of Residence (APOR), Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) who need to go back home are in need of air, sea and land transportation.


Apparate took advantage of that situation, to assist LSI, APOR, OFW to provide less hassle booking and requirements needed in order to travel. Sure there is public advisories about the requirements, but still many people don't know what to do!


Apparate Travel and Tours solved that problem. Business is taking risk, it requires courage and hard work. The desire of opening a travel agency in these hard times proves that passion and vision are greater than the pandemic, hoping that we took the lessons and learned something, willing to take the challenge, to overcome and come back with the new and better us.
