I need to get away, where can I go right now?
Labor day is approaching and realization is setting in, another trip cancelled and another holiday spent looking at the same four walls. I get it, you want to just scream! Yet another reason 2020 needs to end asap! Some of us have ventured locally while others have decided to just get away. The question has come up numerous times, where can U.S. Citizens travel right now internationally?
Trying to decide which country is open, if you need a COVID-PCR within the last 3 days or 10 days or none at all can be overwhelming. I decided to do some research and share the facts. The most popular destinations that are welcoming U.S. tourists are primarily within the Caribbean and Mexico. Restrictions on foreign policies vary from country to country along with health and safety protocols which are often revisited and reevaluated on an ongoing basis. Most countries require a valid VISA issued by the embassy or consulate often prior to arrival. In addition, there may be restrictions on flights, tours and hotel availability. Be mindful, borders can close to U.S. citizens at any time. Don’t be discouraged, restrictions are gradually being lifted as cases improve across the world. Travel will return!
To keep it simple, I’ve compiled a list of countries that are accepting US citizens.
Africa:
Egypt
Kenya
Asia:
Cambodia
Maldives
United Arab Emirates (UAE) - Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Europe:
Croatia
Ireland
Turkey
North America & The Caribbean
Aruba
Bahamas
Barbados
Bermuda
Dominican Republic
Jamaica
Mexico
Puerto Rico
St. Lucia
St. Maarten
