Why travel add to pollution? Stay home and visit exotic travel web sites! This sign offers a whole new way of travelling. A man walks past this shop looking at this sign.  He seems intrigued by this surprising and innovative ad. It's the only tourism allowed today during the global pandemic. This document can be linked with the events present.  By not traveling they ensure not only the non propagation but also a strong decrease of the pollution.  New technologies take a very important place in our lives today. It would not be excluded that such a technology would be put in place.  The virtual has nothing comparable to the real, which makes reality much less authentic.
