Listen to our talented heartist, Veronique Nel from the Accor Comms team in Singapore, sing "Will we Travel Once Again?" with cameos and scenes from our hotels and staff around Asia Pacific.  https://youtu.be/C49Qt6uJ5DU

We hope to see everyone in our wonderful industry travelling once again very soon!  

Lyrics by Cynthia Dammerer here in case you want to sing along too

WILL WE TRAVEL ONCE AGAIN?

 

Someone told me long ago

There's a calm before the storm

We know…

It was in China for some time

 

We were carefree and blasé

We'd go to bars and hip cafes

YOLO...

Now we've got it coming!

 

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the pain

Who do we trust

If we've never seen the pain?

Well just you wait

And soon you'll see… 

 

They said it's just an Asian flu

Nothing much the world could do

Wash your hands…

N' sanitise and wear your masks

 

So we did, and we survived   

And now the world is on its side 

But in…

A giant fiscal down slide

 

I wanna know 

Have you ever seen this pain 

I wanna know 

China, Italy then Spain

Loved ones gone…all dead in vain

 

Drink Dettol, seek bright lights 

WHO to believe for true insight (see what we did there….WHO)

Fake news!

Shut it down and stay at home!

 

Politicians blamed the crowds                                                                                  

Cruise liners were not allowed

Our jobs, they were gone like water…

 

We all wanna know

Will we ever fly again?

We all wanna know?

Can we hug and kiss again?

N' feeling free

With no disdain

 

But now we find our planet's blue

Oceans found time, to re-new

We knew,

We'd mistreated nature too

 

The world is new for me and you

But we are strong, our human zoo

I know

Surviving all this madness

 

We wanna know, 

Who you'll hug and kiss again?

We all wanna know

Can we just go vaccinate

Or do we wait?

And fight it through   

 

Yeah yeahhh

I wanna know

Fight or swallow all our pain

I wanna know

Will you walk with me again                                                                                                 

N' feeling safe… and so care free
