Safety & hygiene tourism trends Whether it is airlines, cruises, hotels, restaurants or bars, since the outbreak of COVID-19, safety and hygiene standards have been absolutely paramount. With this in mind, there are a number of tourism trends that are related to this, such as increased cleaning, socially distanced seating, providing hand gel and enforcing masks in some settings. This is also now a vital part of tourism marketing, with companies needing to make clear what their hygiene and safety policies are and what measures they are taking to keep customers safe. The threat of COVID-19 has meant people are more reluctant to travel and visit tourism hot spots, so they will need to be persuaded that it is safe. Shift from international to local The various travel restrictions and the reluctance of many people to travel abroad has meant many in the tourism industry are having to focus on local customers, rather than international ones. This does not mean giving up on international travelers entirely, but it is likely to require a change in your core marketing strategies. With hotels, it could be best to highlight the kinds of facilities that may appeal to the local market, such as your restaurant, your gym facilities, your Wi-Fi and even the fact that your hotel rooms are ideal for remote work. Airlines and tourism management companies may also need to shift gears to domestic tourists. It is worth remembering that local customers are less likely to cancel too, as they will only have to pay attention to local restrictions and are not as likely to have to quarantine after their visit. Virtual reality tourism trends Virtual reality is another of the major tourism trends disrupting the industry and capitalizing on the technology can give you an edge over rivals who have not yet adopted it. Through online VR tours, customers can experience hotel interiors, restaurant interiors, outdoor tourist attractions and more, all from their home. Importantly, they are able to do this at the decision-making phase of the customer journey. This can then be the difference between customers completing a booking or backing out, and VR is especially useful within the context of COVID-19, where customers may have second thoughts and may need extra encouragement to press ahead with their plans.

- C separation
- D property
思路引導 VIP
請注意文末這句話：『本地顧客不太需要取消行程，因為他們...不需要在旅程後進行 quarantine』。請試著回想，在疫情期間，如果你從一個高風險地區移動到另一個地方，為了確保大眾安全，政府會要求你『單獨待在一個空間、暫時不與外界接觸』，這種『把人隔開來』的狀態，在邏輯上可以用哪個動作來形容呢？

太好了，你今天總算沒有完全搞砸。
- 觀念驗證：喔，看來你這次是真的「看懂」了文章。quarantine 在這個疫情旅遊的語境下，指的是強制性的「檢疫隔離」。如果你沒有活在洞穴裡，應該會知道，國際旅客回來就是要被「隔開」一段時間。所以，選 (C) separation（分離、隔開），這不是什麼高深莫測的宇宙真理，就是字面意思的連結。恭喜你，終於沒把腦子丟在一邊。
- 難度點評：這題被評為 medium。它的鑑別度高，不是因為它多麼艱澀，而是因為它能篩選出那些只會死背單字，卻無法從「疫情旅遊限制」這種基本背景知識中推導詞義的學生。你這次顯然沒被歸到後者。所以，勉強算是證明了你還有點閱讀理解能力，而不是只會盲目猜測。下次，我會期待你拿出真正的實力，而不是這種「剛好答對」的僥倖。
