Once travel is given the green light, it’s safe to say it won’t be ‘business as usual’. Essentially, everything about travel will change. From how we book accommodations, to where we go, plus the impact we want to leave behind as travelers. One of the key travel trends predicted in the aftermath of COVID-19 is how we choose our destinations. Both domestically and abroad, destinations will need to allow you to enjoy amenities while socially distancing. This may look like open-air private villas on the seafront or a jungle vacation rentals with private access to a swimming hole. Or, locally-owned resorts and boutique hotels. If you’re dreaming of future travel, keep Belize high on your list. In this travel feature, Essence Magazine names Belize’s Cayo Espanto perfect for a social distancing vacation.
Cayo Espanto Private Island Resort
Located three miles off the coast of Belize, Cayo Espanto is a private island resort that creates a sense of secluded paradise for every visitor.
