In the future, more people will go on holiday in their own country and not travel abroad on holiday. Do you agree or disagree.

Experts throughout both the developed and developing countries have predicted that, into the foreseeable future, a larger group of people across the world will go on a vacation in their own
country
rather than preferring to
travel
abroad. I strongly agree with
this
notion as the global situation has changed due to pandemic crisis that affected the factors
such
as
economy
, health care facilities,
travel
industry and auto-mobile industry.
This
essay, will discuss about the predictions and the reasons as to why people will prefer domestic travels based on Harvard Tourism Review research and Oxford University surveys to demonstrate the views.
To begin
with, the central reason for people preferring to be in the same
country
during the vacation period is of twofold.
Firstly
, the intention of improving the
economy
of their own
country
is increasing and
secondly
, the healthcare conditions in various countries cannot be assured due to lack of details available through authorized channels.
Although
the recent pandemic crisis is one typical example that increased the
travel
within the
country
, it is
also
predicted that global recession will decline the economic conditions
further
. Towards
this
, the cost of
travel
has increased heavily due to safety measures, and
hence
people want to reduce the expenses towards tickets and
also
want to contribute to their nation's
economy
by means of travelling to various provinces. In the same line of thinking, Harvard Tourism Review research published an article that more than 78% of the people are scared to
travel
due to the health factors that are unknown and
also
wanted to spend their money in other provinces, to learn about the attributes
such
as food habits, culture, tradition and heritage of the other provinces
instead
of knowing other countries people's lives, which is predicted to continue for a very long time.
In addition
to
this
, every
country
is currently focusing on improving their healthcare systems and nations are not encouraging people to
travel
abroad, given the fact that vaccines are not immediately available and other viruses are
also
emerging. Consistent with
this
thought process, Oxford University conducted an experiment through a survey across the developed and developing nation's policy makers about the possible bills that are going to be devised around healthcare and
economy
improvements.
Further
, it published an article based on the insights derived through the survey that illustrated that people will be encouraged to
travel
within the
country
with subsidised plans, tax reduction and assured heath care systems. Because of
such
flexibilities and as it offers personal benefits, people are expected to
travel
only in their own countries rather than preferring to
travel
to other countries. In conclusion, with the aforementioned views and examples, I strongly agree with the view that travelling in the same
country
on a holiday will continue for a very long time as the global situation recovery is not seen in the near future.
This
leads to
further
affirmation that more people will prefer to be in their own
country
and spend their time and money on leisure activities during holidays and vacation rather than taking enormous risks.
