I am mildly optimistic: Lockdown is already bringing infection numbers down. Vaccination will soon reduce the numbers further. As we go into spring, the virus will naturally be hampered, similar to what we have seen last year.

As some countries will re-open, others won't, leading to travel options that will improve but not yet return to anywhere near their 2019 level.

My personal strategy for 2021 is simplicity (no complex trips involving multiple countries) and flexibility (booking with short notice to what is open). Both to avoid rapidly changing regulations.

As for business travel, I think that will stay on video link for 2021, and not sure it'll ever have a meaningful come back.
