COVID has changed the way we all travel, and those with their weddings and honeymoons planned have especially been hit hard, having to cancel, postpone or reschedule a milestone in their lives on a smaller scale. But with international travel opening up, things might change for the better than the current situation, although it might take a while for things to get back to how it all was during pre-COVID times.
Resort honeymoons might be the next best option for those who want to undertake travel for leisure in the near future.
