The news that travel rules in the UK have been lifted entirely means a hard-hit travel industry may begin to recover in 2022 – but where can you actually go on holiday this year? While testing, quarantine and even the passenger locator form have been dropped in the UK, this isn’t the case for the majority of destinations in the world, some of which are yet to reopen for tourism since the start of the pandemic in 2022.
While travel to most European countries is now accessible, there are still testing requirements for some – and some important admin to be done before you can board the plane. Some countries will allow visitors to enter without a vaccine, but it’s certainly easier to travel if you’ve had at least both jabs. In some cases you’ll need a booster, too.
Meanwhile, destinations further afield such as New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong are still closed to tourists, regardless of whether they’ve been vaccinated. It’s increasingly likely that restrictions will be lifted around the world in 2022, however rules can change at a moment’s notice; which is why we’ve collated the rules for some of the most popular tourist destinations, below, and keep them very regularly updated as things progress.
