<\/a><\/p>\n1<\/span>\u00a0 | \u00a0We are all craving it.<\/h3>\nHope is in the air for travelers all over the world. According to a recent survey by Vacasa and Allison + Partners, a majority of U.S. consumers (53%) say they feel hopeful about 2021. And of those, nearly 60% were planning to take a vacation this spring. This trend expands worldwide. According to Booking.com\u2019s report on getting back to travel, 66% of the 28,000 travelers from 28 countries surveyed feel more hopeful about traveling in 2021, and an equal number have a heightened desire to see the world after being unable to do so in 2020. So much so that 71% of global travelers would rather go on a vacation this year than find true love! Need we say more?\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n2<\/span>\u00a0 | \u00a0Vaccinations are rolling out.<\/h3>\nThe roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines is a big part of what gives travelers hope for the future, with a majority of travelers saying that they will not be traveling internationally until they\u2019ve been vaccinated, and that they will only travel to countries where vaccination programs have been implemented. In the United States, the CDC said that those who are fully vaccinated can travel \u201cat low risk to themselves\u201d both domestically and internationally (with precautions such as wearing a mask, social distancing, and hand washing). As vaccinations keep getting more traction, this is music to our traveling ears.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the good news is that it doesn\u2019t stop there! All around the world, countries are welcoming back travelers. And, with the list getting longer each week and the protocols being different in every country, you\u2019ll never be happier to have a travel advisor by your side to help you make sense of the requirements and measures in place to keep you safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cruise lovers will rejoice about the long-awaited return of cruising, with Seabourn, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Silversea, Crystal and more resuming operations this summer. Again, your travel advisor can guide you through the most recent announcements and help you choose the safest option for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
