旅行泡泡

今天想和大家分享的英文文章是:What is a Travel Bubble? Here’s Everything You Need to Know About the Buzzy New Term in Travel

文章一開始提到,世界各地的旅遊業因疫情受影響,導致國內經濟嚴重跌落,而各國政府正在想盡辦法讓國家能有金錢上的交流,於是產生了「旅行泡泡」。

What’s a travel bubble? What’s with all the hype?
「旅行泡泡」到底是什麼?為什麼大家都在用這個流行語?

Travel bubbles, also known as travel corridors and corona corridors, are essentially an exclusive partnership between neighboring or nearby countries that have demonstrated considerable success in containing and combating the COVID-19 pandemic within their respective borders.
(「旅行泡泡」,又稱「旅遊走廊」(travel corridors) 或「冠狀病毒走廊」(corona corridors),基本上是鄰國或附近國家之間的獨家合作關係,而它們已在控制和對抗各自邊境內的新型冠狀病毒疫情上相當成功。)

These countries then go on to re-establish connections between them by opening up borders and allowing people to travel freely within the zone without having the need to undergo on-arrival quarantine.

接著,文章提到「旅行泡泡」是由愛沙尼亞、拉脫維亞和立陶宛這三個波羅的海國家所創造的詞。當時,它們建立了三邊夥伴關係,使這些國家的公民可以進入彼此的領土,而 這種自由的通道後來被稱為「旅行泡泡」。

(不僅限於旅遊業,這個安全泡泡讓波羅的海三國能夠重新建立貿易關係,並重振其他領域。旅客在旅行泡泡內傳染或感染病毒的機率非常低,因為合作關係內的國家在控制疫情方面做得非常成功。)

接下來,文章將波羅的海三國以外的旅行泡泡列出,並說到會隨著新增的旅行泡泡定期更新資訊。許多國家看到波羅的海三國這項措施也跟著學習,期望能重振自己國家的經濟,而各國之間的旅行泡泡都有獨特的規則。

最後,儘管旅行泡泡不是最理想的解決方案,至少我們已經朝正確方向邁出第一步。隨著時間會有越來越多的隱形橋樑不斷湧現,而我們可以確定的是世界各地都在努力控制境內的疫情。

至今,「旅行泡泡」可以說是讓經濟再度起飛的最佳解決辦法,而對旅行者來說,它讓我們能夠期待未來會再有機會探索世界。
