Trends: this will be the trips of the Spanish this summer
Tourism: Bookings to travel this summer soar by 68%
The arrival of good weather and the
end of the state of alarm
predispose to planning summer vacations and
long trips,
but the pandemic and security measures are still in force with more or less rigor in almost all countries.
And they change without notice, making planning difficult.
The website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a section of
Travel Recommendations
where
the conditions of each of them
are detailed,
country by country,
with a clear warning that the situation is very unpredictable and may change from one day to the next. .
Many are still closed to tourism, others are open but require
negative PCR, quarantine and certificates
.
And all blame the traveler himself for the consequences of setting out to travel the world when the pandemic has not yet been controlled.
These are some recommendations and restrictions for tourists in some of the main destinations chosen by the Spanish:
USA
The entry of foreigners who have been in any country of
the Schengen Area
(to which Spain belongs) in the previous 14 days
is prohibited
.
Those travelers who, because they are included in the exceptions, or because they have obtained an authorization from the US embassy in Madrid can travel to the United States, must have a
negative viral test
carried out in the previous 72 hours, or proof of having effectively recovered from the virus.
MEXICO
It is advisable to limit trips to those strictly necessary.
Although
there are no restrictions
to enter, the declaration of a health emergency in the country - with a red traffic light (critical situation) in several states - has led to the introduction of preventive and restrictive measures (closure of hotels, restaurants, places of entertainment , and traffic limitations on some highways and cities), which vary from state to state.

isolation
in designated hotel facilities.
A payment PCR test is also required at the airport and a second PCR test on the fifth day of arrival.
Hotels and rental houses for tourists in Cuba are open and
interprovincial
movements
are allowed
for both residents and tourists, although there may be specific restrictions.
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

The Government has decreed a health emergency until December 31, 2021, which includes the
closure of borders
and a ban on the entry of non-resident foreigners.

The deficiency of the Tanzanian health system, both public and private, and the lack of means to carry out medical evacuations from the main tourist areas (Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Conservation Zone, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Zanzibar) to the capital, they make any
non-essential travel
inadvisable
.
