The Staycation Edition: How Will Travel Change Post Coronavirus?

The Upgrade by SUITCASE Magazine

Restless and itching to get out? Us too.

That’s why we’re bringing a dose of escapism to wherever you may be listening. We’ll be dissecting what post-pandemic travel might look like in the first episode of SUITCASE’s debut podcast, The Upgrade.

Helping you to travel smarter, we’re exploring staycations as the new holiday of choice and looking forward to the positive impact this new trend will have on the travel industry. Join us for the ride; we’ll be spotlighting some of our favourite British hotels and UK destinations along the way.

We also catch up with Robin and Judy Hutson, the pioneers behind The Pig hotels, as they share their thoughts on how COVID-19 is set to change the hospitality space.

We’d love to know where you’re travelling next and how you think the travel landscape might change post-pandemic. Send your voice notes to [e-mail] or drop us a DM on Instagram @indiadowley and @fleur_rm. For a daily dose of travel inspiration, check in with us at suitcasemag.com
