Where can Americans and U.S. passport holders travel right now?
We know that American travelers are eagerly wondering what countries and cities they can travel to right now, should they choose to. The good news? As many countries start to relax restrictions and reopen borders, many are now accepting tourists from the United States.
The bad news? Since the United States has been the hardest hit nation, some countries are flat out saying “No!” to American visitors, even though their borders are now re-open to other countries. Either way, Ahoy Vacations is here to help you navigate these new policies and procedures.
As rules continuously change, destinations may suddenly reopen or close to American tourists without notice, so readers need to check with local authorities or their travel agent before booking a trip to ensure entry.
Before we get to the list of countries, let’s clear the air about something else:
Are Americans Allowed To Travel Right Now?
Yes. The U.S. government has recently lifted the blanket level-4 “Avoid All Travel” advisory, and American’s have always been permitted to leave the country as they wish. However, upon returning to the U.S. some travelers may face a 14-day quarantine, based on the state. Some states have no quarantine requirements.
Below are just a few destinations currently open to American citizens and what policies they have in place.
Antigua and Barbuda
Antigua and Barbuda reopened to Americans on June 4, 2020.
Upon arrival, American tourists will have to take a covid test at the cost of $100 USD.
Direct flights have already started from Miami on American in June. Come July, New York on JetBlue and Atlanta on Delta will also be flying to Antigua directly.
Aruba
Aruba reopened to Americans on July 10, 2020.
U.S. citizens will have to fill out an online health declaration form and upload a negative covid PCR test 72 hours before boarding. This way, no test needs to be done upon arrival.
Some great direct flights from the US to Aruba include: from New York on United and JetBlue, from Atlanta on Delta, and from Miami on American.
Bermuda
Bermuda is officially reopening for American tourists on July 1st.
To be able to head down for a vacation, Americans will need to bring a negative covid PCR test no older than 72 hours before boarding AND take another test upon arrival.
Direct flights take just over 2 hours from many US cities!
Dominican Republic
On July 1st, U.S. tourists can travel to the Dominican Republic.
As of July 30th, the Dominican Republic is now requiring visitors to present a negative COVID-19 test result before being allowed to enter the country.
Jamaica
Jamaica reopened for American tourists on June 15th!
Jamaica is requiring all American’s visiting to first fill out an online Travel Authorization Card before they fly and they will be testing arrivals at the airport.
Mexico
Mexico is now open for U.S. passport holders! In fact, it was one of the only countries that never actually really closed its borders to Americans in the first place.
No tests needed.
As of June, many tourist cities like Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Tulum, Cabo, and Puerto Vallarta have reopened their hotels and are ready to welcome American guests.
Flights by American Airlines, Spirit, Sun Country, United and JetBlue have resumed from many American cities.
Turks and Caicos
Turks & Caicos reopened for American tourists on July 22nd!
US travelers can head down to the Turks and Caicos late July, but only by flying in, as the cruise ports are staying closed until at least September.
A negative-PCR test is required before arrival.
Many cities fly directly into Turks and Caicos, including: New York, Charlotte, Houston, Miami, Atlanta, and Chicago.
Sounds crazy to mention, but many states in the USA are open for tourism! If you don’t want to travel out of the country just yet, try exploring your own. If you are looking to travel soon or in the future, we are here to help.
