In the wake of COVID-19, many popular tourist destinations are beginning to reopen their borders to tourists from around the world.
Each destination has a different set of rules for travel. Some of these areas will allow people from all countries, while others are more specific about only allowing people from low- or moderate-risk areas.
Many of the destinations require a COVID-19 PCR negative test result a few days before arrival, some require a test or even a second test upon arrival, and some do not require a test at all. Many countries are only performing health screening.
Almost all countries have social distancing measures in place, and most require masks in public areas.
If you plan to travel to any of these destinations, make sure to check their website for the latest information as many of these countries are changing their regulations as the virus progresses.
