Strome Business Minute With Dr. Jeff Tanner

For some people, the toughest aspect of the virus is not getting to travel. Travel companies are promoting travel destinations already so that when people feel comfortable, they’ll go. And the research says that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s been well documented that the planning and dreaming about a trip is more satisfying than the actual trip. Several studies have found that when planning for the trip involves learning about the destination and imagining what it must be like to be there, for example, dreaming of looking over the ancient city of Machu Picchu or sipping espresso at a café in Paris, can be just as satisfying as being there. But if anxiety over the virus turns this activity sour, pack it away, and save it for another day. To learn more, visit odu.edu/business.
