With the dates in mind, it is possible to get tickets with prices below those practiced in this quarantine period, as many travel agencies are making promotional travel packages. There is also the possibility of buying vouchers to use later, being a good way to save on tickets and accommodation.

3. Choose destination
One of the coolest parts of organizing a trip is choosing the destination. At the moment, Brazil is going through a series of restrictions and Brazilian tourists are not being allowed to enter some countries due to the risk of contamination by the coronavirus.
On account of this, the national destinations are being the most viable option for Brazilian tourists, either due to restrictions in other countries or for financial reasons. If you are looking for a less risky trip, opt for less popular destinations and choose the low season period to make your trip.
4. Write a good script
Having chosen the destination and dates, now it's time to define the ideal itinerary for your trip in 2021! Put on a list everything you would like to do in the destination: discover tourist attractions, local attractions, restaurants and cafes, take a city tour, etc. Research about values, transfers between these points, ticket availability and if they need advance reservations.
It's also good to anticipate the weather during the period of travel, as beach and ecotourism destinations can only be enjoyed in good weather, isn't it? See how the temperature will be and if the forecast is favorable for your trip, so you can decide what to pack and not be caught by surprise.
5. Car, bus or plane?
The choice of means of transport is also a very important item when organizing a trip.
Analyze the chosen destination and see the possibilities to reach it. With this information in hand, you can define which is the most advantageous means of transport according to your needs.
For nearby destinations or faster trips, going by land is a good option. If the trip is longer or to a more distant destination, it is more recommended to go by plane.
6. Choose the ideal hosting for you
All chosen? Now comes the most important part: choosing the ideal hosting at your destination. For post-pandemic travel, the priority when choosing a hotel is ensuring the safety and hygiene of the place.
