JLL, a property market consultancy in the US, is predicting an uptick of in-person shopping in brick and mortar stores this holiday season. There is a term for it … revenge shopping or when consumers make up for lost time with increased spending… It is expected to increase foot traffic at retailers this holiday season. In the Philippines where travel restrictions vary from LGU to LGU, things seem to be improving. Some LGUs like Boracay and Bohol are doing away with the RT-PCR test as a condition for fully vaccinated domestic tourists to enter. Under that proposal, arriving fully vaccinated passengers will no longer be locked up in their rooms and can go around the resort provided 100 percent of the resort staff are fully vaccinated.
