The buzz for this virus is like nothing I’ve seen.
My initial reaction was to move on, but when I sat back to catch up on my Google reader, I realized how much this epidemic is anticipated to impact the travel industry…
Jenn Abelson and Robert Gavin of the Boston Globe reported how global concerns over the swine flu outbreak are expected to hit travel and tourism the hardest.
Traveling Mamas gathered information to help you make informed decisions when traveling amid swine flu concerns.
Meg Weaver at Intelligent Travel covered the swine flu’s effect on travel.
Tips from the T-List posted a release from the US Travel Association that speaks to concerns related to travel and the swine flu.
At Budget Travel, Sean O’Neill reported that several airlines have waived fees for travelers changing flights through Mexico.
Would you let the swine flu impact your travel plans?
It’s all overreaction. The numbers just don’t support the fears. But human beings tend to overestimate the threat of uncommon experiences.
Hi, did you hear now that Egypt is planning on slaughtering all their pigs too!! I mean, they’re not even on the same continent. Or maybe they are riding the coattails of tragedy to get tourism up. Who knows?
As scary as it is, I think it might be another method for pharmaceutical companies to monetize. They seem to live for these epidemics!

I am heading to a conference in Chicago, and I normally take Ariborne and bring anti-bacterial lotion when I fly, and I will do the same now. I did have someone else who is attending the conference contact me by email and ask if I wasn’t nervous, I said no!
