Takeaways from the Boat Rental Season 2020

https://www.yachtsys.com/Takeaways-from-the-Boat-Rental-Season-2020.html

The Covid-19 year 2020 was definitely the most disruptive period for tourism of all times. As recurring travel restrictions and actual lockdowns show, the yacht charter industry cannot rely on the recovery of the business in 2021. Hastily produced vaccines might not bring back the “old normality” to international travel behaviour, if the political targets are others. However, insights from the 2020 season enable us to predict future challenges and trends for the boat rental market.

are back! On the these sensitive animals are now coming back to the shore and even into Marinas, like captured on Ibiza and Palma. Were they missing us out there? Not very likely! But there is no recreational boat traffic on the water since the begin of the -19 .
