The United States is expecting a flood of international visitors crossing its borders by air and by land on Monday after lifting travel restrictions for much of the world's population first imposed in early 2020 to address the spread of COVID-19. United Airlines is expecting about 50% more total international inbound passengers Monday compared to last Monday when it had about 20,000. And Delta Air Lines Chief Executive Ed Bastian has warned travelers should be prepared for initial long lines. White House spokesman Kevin Munoz said on Twitter "As we expect high demand when the US lifts its existing air and land travel restrictions Monday, we are taking critical steps to be prepared by providing additional resources."

Bali’s tourism industry is hoping for an uptick in business after COVID-19 social restrictions were eased for the resort island on Monday, with the government beginning to formulate plans to allow foreign travel to resume. The country’s once thriving holiday hotspot has been eerily quiet amid Indonesia’s COVID-19 outbreak - one of the worst in Asia - with hotels, restaurants and beaches shuttered.

Thailand's Phuket will ban travel from the rest of the country from Aug. 3-16 to try to stop a surge in coronavirus cases from spreading to the resort island, but overseas visitors will be largely unaffected, the foreign ministry said on Thursday. Phuket is at the heart of efforts to revive Thailand's tourism industry, a major revenue earner that has been devastated by the pandemic.

England will allow fully vaccinated visitors from the European Union and United States to arrive without needing to quarantine from next week, in a huge and long-awaited boost for airlines and travel companies. Britain’s travel industry has heavily criticised the government for being too slow to open up and fretted that the delays have allowed the EU to race ahead in attracting tourists.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced passenger demand performance for June 2021 showing a very slight improvement in both international and domestic air travel markets. Demand remains significantly below pre-COVID-19 levels owing to international travel restrictions. FILE PHOTO: An airplane prepares to land at Cointrin airport in Geneva, Switzerland. REUTERS/Pierre Albouy As comparisons between 2021 and 2020 monthly results are distorted by the extraordinary impact of COVID-19, unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are to June 2019, which followed a normal demand pattern. Total demand for air travel in June 2021 (measured in revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) was down 60.1% compared to June 2019. That was a small improvement over the 62.9% decline rec...

Warning comes as tourists are blocked at the borders in few countries The restart of international travel could be seriously delayed without worldwide reciprocal recognition of all approved COVID-19 vaccines, says the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC). The global tourism body, which represents the global private Travel & Tourism sector, has issued its warning following concerns tourists face being turned away at the borders because countries don’t have a common list internationally recognised and approved COVID-19 vaccines.

It's a quiet day at Jungfraujoch, the Swiss tourist attraction dubbed "Top of Europe", a mountain saddle connecting two 4,000-metre peaks in the majestic Bernese Alps. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, up to 5,500 people a day would visit Europe's highest railway station at 3,454 metres above sea level. Now the spacious cabins of the new cable car pass the Eiger North Face almost empty. "Last year, the number of visitors dropped by two-thirds to 362,800. We expect a similar number of guests this year," said Kathrin Naegeli, spokesperson for Jungfrau Railways. Over a million people visited Jungfraujoch in 2019, about 70% of them from Asia. The Eiger Glacier is seen behind as people sit on the terrace of the Restaurant Eigergletscher near Kleine Scheidegg, Switzerland June 28, 2021. RE...
