Vaccinated and now? Where you can travel: countries opening doors

The vaccination process continues, which prompts travel enthusiasts to ask themselves a rather simple question: Where you will be able to fly after you have vaccinated? As much as the two injections do not represent an automatic farewell to safety practices such as wearing masks in public, they certainly give citizens more freedom. Here, then, are the countries ready to open their doors without resorting to mandatory quarantine.
Flying to the Seychelles
In this article:
As much as a specific variant has developed, Africa boasts many states that have proven to be excellent counteractors of Covid-19. In the world rankings, for example, Senegal ranks second in its response to the pandemic.
Once vaccinated, therefore, why not indulge in a vacation to the Seychelles? Jan. 17, 2021, the government opened the doors to tourism to anyone who has received the vaccine and presents a negative molecular test, conducted within 72 hours prior to travel.
An autumn in Phuket
Thailand's economy has been hit hardest by the huge drop in tourism. For this reason, a plan is being developed that will lead to the total reopening of Phuket by October. The island says it is ready to welcome vaccinated tourists, waiving the current 14-day mandatory quarantine. This is part of a wide-ranging project that will result in anti-Covid injections for 250,000 residents.

If this represents the long-term plan, Thailand is poised to make an imminent amendment to its regulations regarding mandatory quarantine. Vaccinated individuals will have to remain in isolation upon arrival for 7 days. The unvaccinated, on the other hand, for a total of 10 days. A sharp decrease from the currently scheduled two weeks.
Belize: trip to paradise
The Belize has become the first country overlooking the Caribbean Sea to allow vaccinated tourists to arrive without having to be tested for Covid-19. All that is required is proof of the injection, received at least two weeks in advance. Tourists are also required to download the "Belize Health". Inside, certain health information must be entered within 72 hours of arrival. The unvaccinated must undergo a PCR test, done within 96 hours of arrival. Alternatively, a rapid test is also accepted, within 48 hours. It is also possible to pay ($50 cash) to have it done on site. If you are found to be positive, you will undergo a 14-day quarantine.
Desire for Europe
In Europe, various countries find themselves struggling with reopening programs, breaking down restrictions such as mandatory quarantine. Such is the case with the Romania, which lifted all barriers in the case of vaccinated tourists within the European Union. However, these will have to wait 10 days from the last dose received.
Same for theIceland, which also turns its gaze to tourists from non-EU countries. Goodbye to restrictions starting in May 2021. The date given by the Georgia Is instead February 1, 2021. For more than a month now, the vaccination certificate has been opening the country's doors, with no limits whatsoever.
The international vaccination certificate is also considered valid in Poland, while the Denmark Is working on a "vaccination passport." The idea is to generate an internal system that can guarantee control over all tourists. They will be granted, in the coming months, a digital passport in order to freely take part in events and access restaurants and other venues without restrictions. A project that affects the entire European community, which Greece is also working on, which aims to ensure maximum security in its tourist destinations.
Doors also open in Estonia which, like all countries in Europe, aims to revive the tourism-related economy as quickly as possible. For this reason, the possibility of dropping the quarantine requirement on arrival has been made known. It is necessary to have with you a certificate of vaccination, which must be related to one of the nine globally recognized pharmaceutical companies. A "green light" also for all those who have tested positive for Covid-19 in the previous six months.
Going back on a cruise
Something also seems to be moving on the cruise front, in Italy as well as abroad. In our country, forecasts suggest a return to ships by June 2021. It is beginning, however, to look at what will be the rules to follow in order to get on board. Crystal Cruises, one of the world's best-known extra-luxury cruise lines, will admit only vaccinated passengers (required to have received the shot at least 14 days prior to departure). The first fully vaccinated cruise, however, will be taken by the Odyssey Of The Seas of the Royal Caribbean.
The immunization process had a bearing on the company's choices, which will not debut the latest majestic vessel in Rome-Civitavecchia, but in Haifa. The good work done in Israel against the pandemic is thus rewarded. For the first time the entire crew and every guest over the age of 16 will be vaccinated. A look to the future that can only involve other big names as well.
The vaccination certificate also represents an absolute stakes for Saga Cruises. Identical discourse in the United States. The American Queen Steamboat Company aims to restart its tourist routes in July 2021, solely with mandatory vaccination. The same goes for the Victory Cruise Lines.
Luxury brands sending a clear signal, the line followed, however, is not unanimous. Just think of the Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, which will only impose the obligation on its own crew.
