A brief word as the world of travel is increasingly overwhelmed by constantly-changing news and changes caused by the spread of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus.
TravelGumbo NEWS will not be passing along the constant updates, which move at a pace faster than we are able to maintain; that is the role of general news sites including those provided by newspapers and broadcast networks. A useful source for Europe is TheLocal.com and its specific country websites.
What we will do is continue to monitor travel news, as we always do, and offer daily news reports on items and trends of traveler interest that may not appear in general websites, or where TravelGumbo is able to provide analysis that may not appear elsewhere, especially since so many sources simply republish news releases from vendors.
That monitoring and reporting will include some reporting and analysis of effects for COVID-19 on the travel industry and possible future trends. We look forward to hearing from you on any of those topics, and welcome suggestions of interest for us to cover.
