Are you wondering which countries you can travel to now? We have been getting a lot of questions lately on when their favorite luxury travel destinations like the Amalfi coast, Hawaii, Africa, Asia and many others will be open again or which new travel destinations they can take a trip to right now. The answer to these questions is not easy. As you know the list of International destinations that Americans can safely travel to is constantly changing. Covid has drastically transformed the way we travel, with each country having their own unique requirements upon entry. That's why it is our jobs to consistently check the US Embassy for preferred airlines, destinations, and what new protocols are required so we can make your travel a seamless and stress-free process.

All of that to say there are destinations that are currently open that we can travel to right now! As of January 24, 2021 the list below are the highlighted international countries we can visit now and what that might look like in the current Covid climate.
