Everyone wants to tell a story about their unique travel experience,
while the world is battling to stop the spread of covid-19, many countries
still shutting down their borders, and other plans or slowly opening, however,
few countries are still welcoming visitors, such as, UAE, Panama, Brazil, and
Socotra Island, Yemen, which brings hope to many of those who cannot wait to
travel again.
Influencers, photographers, and models are flocking into the UAE, hoping
to continue their work or start a new journey, the UAE government has
been a great example of how to remain open to visitors and managing the spread
of covid-19, frankly, we should learn from the UAE experience, Socotra Island
is part of Yemen, it's a unique place that has many endemic species, many
of which don't exist anywhere else, the island was closed to visitors
since the conflict in Yemen mainland started back in 2014, however, that
changed in the past two years, the local authority decided to open up to
visitors in hoping to push the local tourism economy.
Socotra has one of the best beaches in the world, it has valleys,
mountains, caves, giant sand-dunes, dolphins, rare birds, and much more, it is
also the home of the legendary dragon's blood trees that no other plans have
them, being in Socotra is the best place to tell mind-blowing stories, it’s the
destination that will make everyone envy you for going there.
The island still untouched, it's a place for those seeking to be lost in
nature, not many people know about it which makes it the perfect place to
create a remarkable story as an influencer, or for taking the perfect pictures
or cinematic videos if you were a photographer, getting to the island is nearly
impossible for solo travelers, you will need to book a tour to get you there
from local companies such as hellosocotra.com or socotratours.com, they will
provide you with flight, accommodation, food, transportation and even entry
visas. It's time to create a story that everyone will remember.
