Is Vaccine Tourism Truly The Answer To All Our Pandemic Travel Woes?

It’s been a while since our Insta feeds were hit with some quality vacay spam. Thanks to the pandemic, for most of us, our latest round trips have been between our bed and the kitchen. But that might change soon with the hottest travel trend of the season — vaccine tourism. Rumours about this exclusive pandemic offering first began circulating over Whatsapp sometime last month but faded into the background in the midst of the second wave.

It’s no secret that the tourism and hospitality industry has been hit hard since the beginning of the pandemic. This called for innovation on their part, and numerous luxury hotels across India began offering upscale quarantine facilities last year. But this trend did not pick up during the second wave. Owing to the grave circumstances, hotels had to forego profits and were converted into functional hospital wards instead. And though some hotels had been planning to offer vaccination staycations, their attempts were shut down by the government.

What is vaccine tourism and where can I sign up?

Vaccine tourism is exactly what it sounds like. As a vaccine tourist, you travel to another country to get jabbed, whilst simultaneously indulging in some local sightseeing and leisure activities.

So far, Russia seems to be the most popular destination for vaccine tourists from India. As per reports, a Dubai-based travel agency offered a 24-day package tour from Delhi to Russia, wherein travellers would be inoculated with both the doses of Sputnik V. Priced at ₹11.3 lakh, this package deal is inclusive of hotel stay, meals, flights, and some sightseeing as well.

Russia is one of the few countries that currently allows foreign tourists to enter, in spite of the otherwise rigid travel restrictions across the world. In fact, there’s no mandatory quarantine requirement upon entry.

Other countries such as the USA, Slovakia, and Zimbabwe, don’t limit their vaccine offerings to locals either. However, their international air travel restrictions prevent one from hopping onto a flight to get jabbed. Also, none of them have offered a tourist-friendly vaccination package as such.

That being said, after Russia, Maldives and Guam plan to tap the international vaccine tourism market as well. And Indonesia is looking to start a similar programme for its residents domestically.

Is vaccine tourism a practical approach to inoculation?

Considering the current scenario, though the idea of vaccine tourism sounds amazing, it is simply impractical, especially for Indian residents.

Firstly, the high asking price for such packages makes them inaccessible to the majority. The online slot booking system received a lot of flak for its digital divide that made widespread inoculation extremely difficult until walk-in appointments were permitted.

Moreover, given how India is still reeling from the devastating effects of the second wave, travelling for leisure is still risky. And this risk shall increase further if countries start adopting Russia’s no-quarantine policy for tourists. Also, one should note that the virus has been mutating and evolving at a rapid rate. With limited data available regarding the efficacy of the current vaccines against the newer variants, vaccine tourism seems to be more of a gamble than anything else.

Apart from being a bookworm, a film and theatre aficionado, an adventure sports enthusiast and an avid seeker of pop-culture, I’d best describe myself as the personification of bubbling soda. The perfectionist in me is convinced that the perfect cup of cappuccino is a myth.

No relationship is perfect. Every relationship has its ups and downs and that is how it should be. Sometimes, specific conflicts help strengthen the relationship. But that, in no way, means that there is no love. But sometimes, conflicts that seem small might be precursors to a bigger situation, especially if they have been going on for a long time. By ignoring such problems, you might be brushing off warning signs that your relationship is doomed. Keep your eyes out for these eight signs of a failing relationship.⁣

The social stigma attached to a woman’s choice to opt for pregnancy after 35 is still prevalent in India. It may be 2022 but women continue to face the pressure to “get settled” and start a family as soon as they start approaching their mid-twenties. Unfortunately, “Beta abhi shaadi karke bache karlo, baad mein fir kitni mushkil hoti hai, pata hai? Naukri shaukri toh hoti rahegi aage bhi” is a statement that a lot of us are familiar with. Apart from Bipasha Basu and Sonam Kapoor, here are 10 other Bollywood celebrities who crushed all misconceptions when they became mothers for the first time post 35.
