Gli ultimi mesi della pandemia da COVID-19 non hanno solo colpito profondamente tutti i cittadini, i contagiati e le loro famiglie, ma hanno anche gravato finanziariamente sulle imprese, sugli imprenditori e sulla forza lavoro, richiedendo quasi a tutti importanti sacrifici. Se gestiti correttamente, in modo sicuro e organizzato, i mesi a venire potrebbero offrire a tutti i cittadini la possibilità di riposarsi e rilassarsi, respirare aria fresca, e di ritrovarsi con amici e familiari, nelle proprie nazioni od oltre confine. A molti basta questo pensiero per stare meglio, ma vogliono comunque essere rassicurati sul fatto che sarà possibile recarsi in sicurezza presso alberghi, campeggi, ristoranti e bar, che i percorsi di trekking, i lungomare e le piste ciclabili saranno accessibili, che sarà possibile visitare le attrazioni culturali, che i trasporti per raggiungerli non avranno restrizioni e soprattutto che è stato fatto tutto il possibile per garantire la massima sicurezza dall'infezione. Per l'ltalia, il turismo è un fattore chiave del tessuto economico e sociale e fornisce posti di lavoro e reddito indispensabili, soprattutto in quelle regioni senza fonti alternative di occupazione. In considerazione del fatto che durante una stagione estiva media (giugno-agosto) i residenti dell'UE effettuano 385 milioni di viaggi turistici e spendono 190 miliardi di euro risulta fondamentale porre le basi per un "viaggiare in sicurezza". Lo scopo di questo volume si basa sulla necessità di fornire al viaggiatore consigli, indicazioni e soluzioni per risolvere tutte quelle possibili evenienze, talvolta non piacevoli, che possono accompagnare il cittadino desideroso di evadere dopo mesi di confinamento.
