Flexibility for a Successful Vacation
With changing travel requirements and the possibility of contracting COVID-19 looming over the upcoming summer months, being able to take a relaxing vacation isn’t as easy as it once was.
The key, as it is in many endeavors, is preparation, and the ability to remain flexible doesn’t hurt either.
Centers Health Care has at look at three things to make sure that you’ve considered when planning a vacation for 2022 or beyond.
- Consider a Travel Agent
You may have always planned your own trips, but when having to manage ever-changing conditions and requirements, a travel agent can be a huge ally. This is especially true if you are traveling internationally, as they will be up-to-date on travel regulations, vaccine requirements, and other restrictions that vary from country to country.
- Be Prepared for a Cruise
If you’re taking a cruise, know that most require proof of vaccination. In addition, you may need to provide a negative COVID-19 test prior to boarding. Finally, different ports of call can have additional restrictions based on the country they are located in. Check with the cruise line in advance so you have everything you need to avoid any unpleasant surprises once on board.
- Opt for Travel Insurance
Travel insurance typically wasn’t something you needed years ago, but now when one positive COVID-19 test can sink an entire trip, it’s best to fork out the extra cash for the peace of mind. You’ll also want to check the policies regarding the airlines and hotels you’ll be using in case you happen to get sick while you’re in the middle of your trip.
