Just as some of the world’s most popular tourist locations began to return for business after a long hiatus due to the pandemic, things went dismal again with the arrival of Omicron. Its discovery prompted tougher entrance criteria and increased travel warnings. If safety and travel are both important to you, these locations are recommended by the US State Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Bahamas: Those who have always desired to spend their holidays in the sun, beach, and sea may visit this lovely location and experience the enchantment of this combination. Both the CDC and the State Department issued Level 2 travel recommendations for the islands. Such a piece of advice, according to tourism officials in the Bahamas, indicates that their policies and precautionary measures to counteract COVID-19 are working.
British Virgin Islands: The CDC and the State Department have issued Level 1 travel advisories to the British Virgin Islands to start the new year. According to recent press reports, the islands are now accessible to foreign travel, and officials have recently relaxed admission requirements for fully-vaccinated persons.
Fiji: Fiji has long been a bucket-list destination for many travelers, thanks to its numerous stunning islands. According to reports, the nation has reopened with COVID-19 testing procedures in place, and it’s worth noting that it earned a Level 1 travel alert from the State Department. In addition, the CDC has maintained a Level 1 travel advisory, suggesting a minimal risk of infection.
Grenada: Due to COVID-19, Grenada got a Level 2 travel alert, and the State Department advised travelers to take greater vigilance when visiting Grenada. The CDC has also issued a Level 2 Travel Health Notice for the Caribbean island, suggesting that moderate levels of Coronavirus infections are expected to occur.
Jamaica: Jamaica is classified as a Level 2 destination, which indicates it is worth considering if you’re looking for a new place to visit. Officials in the know, on the other hand, advised tourists to be extra cautious owing to COVID-19, while the CDC predicted a slight increase in Coronavirus infections along the island’s boundaries.
New Zealand: Since the global COVID epidemic in 2020, New Zealand has been off-limits to most international travelers. Industry analysts believe that, with the approach of 2022, foreign visitors will be able to visit the country sooner rather than later.
United Arab Emirates: The United Arab Emirates in the Middle East, which is home to some of the world’s most popular tourist sites such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi, has issued a Level 1 travel alert for the year 2022. According to the CDC, COVID-19 infections in the UAE are likely to be minimal.
