Suddenly, a heartbreaking shiver approached all the agents of the tourism sector. No one could believe it, he had just sentenced to death to the most damaged industry in this health crisis.<\/p>\n<p>And Gates, kept scaring tourism on Rashida Jones&#8217; radio show, saying &#8220;My prediction would be that over 50% of business travel and over 30% of the days in the office will go away&#8221;. To all this, he added that in addition to the work <strong>crisis, <\/strong>the <strong>drop in business travel<\/strong> could worsen the <strong>airline <\/strong>industry, plunged into a drop in revenue from low air traffic. The air sector, immersed in emergency bailouts, mergers and financial reorganizations, was hit by the news like a bucket of cold water.<\/p>\n<p>And after his devastating comments, a small spark of light enlightened the travel industry. Gates was very clear that his predictions were tight to a very specific timeframe as he commented once the mass distribution of the vaccine begins, business trips will make rebound.<strong> Virtual <a href=\"https:\/\/aliciavalero.com\/en\/rethinking-events\/\">conferences and meetings have<\/a> their limitations<\/strong> and even if there are a few days that we don&#8217;t go to the office, face-to-face meetings after so many months are more necessary than ever. Business structures and their teams have been completely disconnected and isolated.<strong> The reconnection and recovery of business travel according to Gates will come back the second half of next year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We will take off again and the skies will be filled again with commercial flights full of passengers with businesses to close, dreams of reconnecting with their teams and a lot of face-to-face work to retake.
