On Sharm el-Sheikh's sandy beaches many of the sun loungers lie empty. At a central promenade packed with shops, cafes and nightclubs, crowds are thinner than usual. The resort on the southern tip of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula is reeling from the impact of the war in Ukraine, which has seen Ukrainians and Russians - previously among the town's top visitors - virtually disappear, tourism sector workers say.

The number of infections involving the Indian variant in Poland has now reached 16, including two cases in the family of a Polish diplomat who had returned from India, Niedzielski sai...

Germany also lists India as coronavirus "high incidence area" Iran said on Saturday that it would bar travellers from India over a COVID-19 variant to avert its spread in the already stricken country. Officials, however, did not say if any cases of the variant first identified in India in late March had been detected in Iran, the epicentre of the pandemic in the Middle East. “The Indian coronavirus is a new threat we face,” President Hassan Rouhani said in remarks broadcast on state TV. “The Indian virus is more dangerous than the English and Brazilian variants,” he added.

Travel and tourism have been one of the main industries to be gravely affected by COVID-19, leaving many countries with no choice but to close its borders to tourists for months due to the global pandemic outbreak. This has resulted in huge losses for almost all countries, especially those with high dependence on tourism revenue. UNWTO said in its World Tourism Barometer update for July 2020 that international tourist arrivals (overnight visitors) saw a decrease of 56% in the first five months of 2020 over the same period of last year, according to data reported so far by destinations worldwide. International arrivals declined 98% in the month of May. This represents 300 million fewer international tourist arrivals in January-May 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, which tran...

Is Europe expected to bring itself back on track by easing out restrictions on cross-border travel, then the dream has perhaps shattered prematurely. After EU decided to open its borders on 30th June, month of July was all about opening up to more and more countries by EU as well as non-EU nations. But as came August, tables were turned and it was chaos and confusion all over, which continues to grow with every passing day. If this summer was supposed to offer hope that coronavirus was under control in Europe, spikes in cases across the continent and ensuing travel chaos have given governments a worrying reality check. From France to Ukraine, the number of positive tests for Covid-19 is rising sharply as more people seek vacations and as lockdown measures are eased to allow citizens to...
