    Is leisure travel all set to return for summer?

    Summer travel plans might just be possible with these countries allowing tourists

    New Zealand
    Low Coronavirus infection rate lets these countries open up for tourism. As we slowly get back to our lives after the outbreak of Covid_19, parts of the world are thinking of leisure travel again. With Australia announcing plans to revive tourism, the first signs of travel are there albeit with precautionary measures in place. Many countries are easing border restrictions or creating safe passages between destinations where infection numbers are low.

    Australia
    As of now, there is no firm date for the proposed trans-Tasman Bubble, however the Australian prime minister is hopeful that a trans-Tasman travel will be possible by July. When trans-Tasman travel is allowed, it’s likely that a 14-day quarantine will be required following any travel between the two nations. Image Credit: 12 Apostles/Insta: australia

    Greece
    Greece has had early success managing the pandemic and so far has avoided major outbreaks. As coronavirus lockdowns begin to lift in Europe, Greece has its sights set on the summer for reopening. The country intends to reopen to tourists on July 1, using extensive testing, distanced accommodations and activities. It might not be a typical tourist season, but small pleasures by the Aegean sea are good enough. Image Credit: social media

    Iceland
    Iceland has tested large numbers of the population – without imposing any lockdown or curfew. Iceland’s economy is heavily dependent on tourism, and the summer is typically the high season. As it stands now, Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir announced some up-coming changes to the travel restrictions to Iceland. Image Credit: City of Reykjavik/ social media

Visitors will also be asked to install the Rakning C-19 contagion tracing app. Image Credit: Bathers enjoy the warm volcanic hot springs of the Blue Lagoon in Grindavik, Iceland. (Reuters)

    PEURTO RICO
    Puerto Rico is slowly reopening its economy and tourism is an important part of it. The island is focusing on hygiene as it plans its reopening to tourists. The first round of easing up includes smaller businesses to open, as long as they enforce social distancing and provide protective gear to employees.
