Bowman’s Travel Brief: Ending COVID Travel Restrictions

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently declared an end to the global health crisis caused by COVID-19, urging countries to end their travel restrictions.

Chile became the latest to end all COVID-19 travel-related restrictions.

Currently as of writing this, 184 destinations are fully open for travel and COVID-19 testing or quarantine is not required for entry. 25 countries still require COVID-19 testing. You can check updates here on our COVID-19 travel map.

Many around the world were already living like COVID-19 was a thing of the past.

The travel industry still feels the impact the pandemic caused though. Staffing issues in all sectors remain a key concern, especially as the busy summer travel period draws near.

But remember this too shall pass.

That COVID-19 travel map won’t be a thing before too long. We will get back to all destinations fully open. We continue to inch closer and closer each day.
