JAKARTA - The launch of the COVID-19 vaccine has given hope that tourism travel will return like before. But, with situations changing every day, and travel restrictions too, it's difficult to pinpoint low-risk places to book trips.
Canadian travel expert Matthew Keezer, as reported by Euronews, suggested that we look for places that remain stable during a pandemic, rather than choosing destinations that were popular before the pandemic.
What makes a goal safe? Indeed, no one is immune from COVID-19. But you have a greater chance of going on vacation, with relatively low limits, by looking for places where there are fewer cases of COVID-19. For example, cities and areas where hospitals avoid overcrowding and are less likely to impose curfews or other restrictions. Here are some relatively safe tourist destinations:
Madeira, Portugal
Although mainland Portugal has had a large number of COVID-19 cases (788.560 at last count), the sparsely populated Madeira Islands have remained the safest destination in Europe since the pandemic began. The island destination has implemented strict health protocols from the start to protect local residents. Madeira currently has the lowest active case rate in Europe, with a total of only 971 cases since the start of the pandemic.
Madeira is known for its lush nature and breathtaking views. This archipelago is surrounded by oceans, where the air is clean and clear, unlike other big cities in Europe. If you're planning a job, it's also a great option as the government recently opened Europe's first digital nomad village.
Monte Carlo, Monaco
Known as the 'playground for the rich', Monaco is one of the safest tourist destinations in Europe. The French royal territory has had 21 deaths and a total of 1.787 cases since the start of the pandemic.
Whether it's relaxing on the beach or playing in some of the world-famous Monte Carlo casinos (after reopening), this stunning Mediterranean city has something for everyone. While there is no mandatory quarantine period upon arrival in Monaco, there is currently a curfew from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Martinique, Lesser Antilles
After a gloomy winter on lockdown, the sun, sea, and sand on the rugged Caribbean island are sure to get in order. Excellent hikes, cliffs on the cliffs of Mount Pelée, or swim with turtles are just some of the things on offer to tourists in Martinique.
More importantly, the destination countries were affected by COVID-19 15 times less than most countries in Europe, with a total of 6.000 cases and 45 deaths. All travelers over 11 years of age must have a negative PCR test result to enter.
Asos - Kefalonia Island
For beautiful blue skies, crystal-clear seas, delicious cuisine, and gorgeous views, Asos is the perfect destination to recover from the stresses of the past year. This quaint and colorful fishing village is one of Greece's hidden gems. Here, you can bask in the sun on the beautiful Navagio Beach, or explore the Melissani Caves - Greece's natural treasures.
In terms of safety, ASOS has four times fewer deaths related to COVID-19 compared to other countries in Europe. The Greek Prime Minister said that travelers with a COVID-19 vaccination certificate can enter the country without any restrictions.
Tahiti, French Polynesia
Tahiti's crystal-clear waters, lush natural scenery, and rich local cuisine are sure to make Instagram envy. But more importantly, Tahiti is another relatively safe destination to book a holiday in 2021.
Tahiti has three times fewer deaths per million population than France. Across French Polynesia, there have been 18.299 cases of the virus and 136 deaths. Most travelers are required to have at least one negative PCR test before going on vacation.
