Local domestic travel will begin to pick up this summer, we\u2019re hoping international travel will return in late 2020 and pick up in 2021. It will be a slow process and there will be many changes so be prepared. Expect increased health monitoring at hotels and airports; masks are already mandatory on some airlines. Many hotels are also reopening without many higher touch services like spa or salon. Some properties are not opening food and beverage outlets and offering room service only. We\u2019re in constant communication with our travel partners every day, so simply let us know what you\u2019re looking for and we\u2019ll do the rest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/local\/were-open-aspen-travel-advisors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Harris is the owner of Aspen Travel Advisors.Courtesy photo Business name: Aspen Travel Advisors Web: AspenTravelAdvisors.com Phone: Brian Harris (owner) 970-618-3178 Email: brian@aspentraveladvisors.com Support Local Journalism Donate Instagram: @aspentraveladvisors\/@expeditionnbucketlist\/@the_island_expert\/@michelintours YouTube: UltraLuxeVR.com Aspen Times: How have you gotten creative during this time?
