Headout Launches A Global Travel Reopening Dashboard To Boost Post-COVID Travel

Headout, the leading online brand for curated local experiences, has launched the Global Travel Reopening Dashboard. The dashboard helps potential travelers get live updates on the opening status for the top 800 landmarks around the world along with a comprehensive record of the safety measures in place at each one of the venues. It also includes an interactive map of 100 countries with corresponding travel regulations, quarantine rules, and case trends to help readers review and decide their next travel destination.

The travel and tourism industry was one of the first sectors to be decimated by the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. However, the world is re-opening again and access to credible and accurate information will be critical in aiding travel recovery. Headout is working with hundreds of partners and venues on-ground to aggregate, verify, and normalize data on a real-time basis. With the help of this dataset, travelers can now get an unparalleled view of reopening trends around the world and plan their next vacation accordingly.

“Today, there is no single place on the internet to find reopening and safety information for tourist hotspots across the world. We are making the Global Travel Reopening Dashboard accessible to the public to change this. This will play an important role in the return of travel with increasing consumer confidence by providing access to high-quality data.” says Varun Khona, CEO of Headout.

Reopening Trends Data

In this rapidly-evolving landscape, Headout has analyzed emerging tourism trends with their dataset. 48% of all major landmarks around the world have made masks mandatory while 25% of them have stopped accepting walk-ins altogether. 70% of museums and aquariums have reduced the capacity to limit crowds and help social distancing. Croatia was the first country in the world to open up for domestic tourists while China and Vietnam were the first in Asia for the same.

For those who are not yet ready to (physically) travel, Headout has also launched “digital experiences” a collection of online virtual tours – from yoga sessions to historic walks and cooking classes – one can enjoy from the comfort of their home.
