Plan Your Post-lockdown Staycation.

*This post is brought to you by Nations Trust American Express.

Due to a global pandemic, we've been putting a pin on all our plans, including vacation plans. With social distancing, lockdown and endless curfews, it wasn't an easy time for those of us who live for the feeling of exploring the wilderness, enjoying the sunsets, hiking misty mountains, or simply put, setting the foot on a land that we've never been before.

However, now that the lockdown rules are somewhat relaxed and no curfews anymore, we have the opportunity to travel in the new normal, while adhering to the health and safety guidelines issued by the Government. Click here for travel-related health and safety guidelines. After spending three long months in home-quarantine, even the thought of a staycation is enough to light up our mood.

And if that doesn't give you the boost to wake up in the morning and prepare your travel itinerary for the next trip, check out these hotel offers that your Nations Trust Bank American Express Card is entitled to!

Nations Trust Bank American Express gives you the opportunity to stay at a whole range of luxurious properties that are located in some of the most popular travel destinations in the country to make your travel experience is more memorable and comfortable.
