WHY AIRPORT TESTING MATTERS
National Geographic Traveller (UK)|November/December
THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY IS PINNING ITS HOPES ON AIRPORT TESTING TO LIMIT QUARANTINE AND BOOST ITS CHANCES OF STAGGERING ON THROUGH THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS — BUT IS THIS THE MAGIC BULLET THAT WILL KEEP US TRAVELLING?

WHY AIRPORT TESTING MATTERS

Quarantine roulette, the travel corridor shuffle — whatever you call it, there’s no doubt that the UK government’s weekly edicts on which countries are to lose their quarantine exemption are, at the very least, disruptive. Many travellers seeking to get home are being given just a few hours’ notice that their destination is no longer within a safe travel corridor, leaving them facing inflated airfares, plus the practical ramifications of suddenly having to quarantine for 14 days on return. With a number of destinations either getting booted off or reinstalled on the no-go list with confounding frequency as their infection rates rise and fall, the system seems nothing short of a travel industry wrecking ball. Is the only sustainable solution to introduce airport testing?
