How the Pandemic Changed Travel Forever | Divia Thani, Conde Nast Traveler

In this episode of Not Your Aunty, Divia Thani, Global Editorial Director of Conde Nast Traveler, reflects on a defining moment in modern travel history.

She launched Conde Nast Traveler India in 2010, building the magazine over a decade — and just as the brand completed 10 years, 2020 arrived.

A year that changed everything.

With no flights, no movement, and the world grounded at home, the pandemic became the worst possible time for the travel and hospitality industry.

In this conversation, Divia speaks about:

• Launching Conde Nast Traveler India and completing 15 years
• Running the India edition for a decade
• Having big plans for 2020 — and watching them come to a sudden halt
• How COVID-19 reshaped travel globally
• What leadership looks like during an industry-wide shutdown
• Why that year remains one of the most challenging periods for travel

“We were grounded at home. There were no flights.
It was a terrible year for travel.”

This episode offers an honest reflection on resilience, uncertainty, and how the travel industry — and its people — were forced to rethink everything.
