<\/div>\n

The pandemic was declared in March 2020, shutting down travel for months. How did the lockdowns, and then the surge in demand, change the way you travel?<\/p>\n

\n

Those dark days began almost five years ago.<\/p>\n

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a pandemic<\/a>, and four days later, U.S. states began to order shutdowns and travel restrictions.<\/p>\n

By the end of the month, the European Union had barred nonessential travel from outside the bloc, cruise ships were under a no-sail order in U.S. waters and state governors had issued stay-at-home orders to prevent the spread of the virus. Nonessential travel would be frozen for months.<\/p>\n

After Covid vaccines became widely available in the spring of 2021, travel began to rebound, albeit with face coverings mandatory on planes and in transportation hubs. As the masks slowly came off and borders reopened, travelers sought to make up for lost time, a phenomenon known as \u201crevenge travel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The freeze quickly turned into a flood as hot spots like Venice<\/a>, Iceland, Barcelona<\/a> and Dubrovnik, Croatia, filled with visitors. A dearth of tourism suddenly became overtourism<\/a>, and many destinations started enacting restrictions and charging fees<\/a> to dissuade the hordes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The last five years have been quite a roller coaster. We want to hear how those ups and downs have affected your relationship with travel.<\/p>\n

We will read every response to this questionnaire and reach out if we are interested in learning more about your story. We won\u2019t publish any part of your response without following up with you first and verifying your information. And we won\u2019t share your contact information outside the Times newsroom or use it for any reason other than to get in touch with you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
