This week, more than a hundred million people will take vacations in their cars, as the United States eases its border restrictions and the European Union tightens COVID protocols to protect travelers from the virus. Despite the challenges, the travel industry is showing signs of recovery and is poised for a successful holiday travel season. Vaccination rates, pent-up demand and rising air prices are expected to drive the travel industry’s recovery.
The TSA has screened over two million people this weekend as the holiday travel season approaches. Meanwhile, the number of people infected with the disease COVID-19 has increased over last year. Despite these new developments, travelers should prepare themselves for long delays and crowded airports. In addition, there are a number of other developments that will impact their travel plans. According to flight website Hopper, there will be a significant rush of passengers in December and January, which is more than double the number of people flying from October to December 2017.
The US Department of State has issued nine ‘Do Not Travel’ advisories in the last week. Among the most notable stories from the past week: the government of Malaysia has banned COVID-19 and has temporarily suspended its lane-travel program for travelers with certain vaccinations. As a result, travelers will need a COVID-19 booster shot in order to pass through the air and land. Further, Singapore is preparing for a major travel rush for the holidays and is bracing for this.
The World Health Organization has issued a Do Not Travel (DNT) advisory for nine countries. As a result, the travel industry is cautiously optimistic about the return of tourists and travelers to the region. Despite these worries, many countries in the region are making major strides toward reviving tourism. And while this is good news for the travel industry, there are also risks involved in travel. In the Middle East, travelers should be aware of the latest updates.
Despite the high-stakes involved in holiday travel, many travelers have a good sense of what to expect. The holidays are a time for celebration, but many people do not have enough time to plan ahead. For example, the US government has issued a ‘Do Not Travel’ travel advisory for Greece. The U.S. Department of State also issued a ‘Do Not Visit’ travel advisory for Malaysia. While there may be few ‘Do Not-Travel’ warnings, the country still has an ongoing COVID-19 vaccination program.
There are many important issues to consider when traveling. First, vaccination rates are one of the most important aspects to consider when traveling to a foreign country. However, there is no doubt that vaccine rates will increase during the peak travel seasons in the Middle East. And the travel industry is hopeful about the tourism recovery in the region, and its future. And with the global economy rebounding, the travel industry is also confident about the recovery. The question is, how to continue to stay safe and healthy in the Middle East?
