Borders are starting to reopen to tourists around the world, and as the holidays approach, you may be wondering if there are any countries welcoming Americans. With US coronavirus cases reaching the eight million mark, many countries are still cautious about letting Americans visit.
Although the CDC still highly recommends staying home this season, with most countries listed as “high risk”, many people are still eager to travel. So, what are your options? Those seeking warm weather, tropical escapes can consider Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Ecuador to name a few places. Most of these destinations require proof of a negative COVID-19 test before arrival and to be on the safe side you should get one even if it is not required.
