Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know just how shaken up everyone’s worlds were in early 2020, when we all watched the news of this dangerous illness unfurl. In 2022, it appears the presence of Covid-19 is fizzling, but it is undeniably still lingering like a bad smell.

However, in 2022, many countries are now reopening their gates in order for holiday fans to travel again and many are jumping at the opportunity. However, for some, the reality of the pandemic and the possibility of catching the virus while travelling is all too much and can be a prohibitor of them enjoying the holiday that they deserve.

If you are someone who is struggling to travel with confidence in 2022, we have put together a handy guide to help give you some peace of mind.

Research The Location You Wish to Travel To

As we’re sure you’re aware, different governments have taken different approaches when it comes to regulations set to help control the pandemic. Some will be asking for vaccination status and others will be more relaxed, but you should always ensure that you know exactly what your chosen country will be requiring upon entry to their borders.

You will also need to know if the country is allowing tourists from the UK to enter, but this can be easily done by checking the relevant government website.

However, don’t let this put you off! If you have done your research and know exactly what is required, entering your chosen country will be a breeze so long as you have met their specifications.

Keep Testing

To exit the UK and travel, you will be required to take a certain type of covid test before you leave the UK which you can arrange by finding a travel test provider. Many providers of travel tests will also be able to provide you with day 2 and day 8 travel tests, which may be required for your trip.

As long as you ensure you keep testing for the virus before you travel, you will easily be able to provide a negative result, which will allow you to board the plane to your chosen destination and absorb some well-deserved holiday sun! As well as testing, we recommend investing in holiday insurance that covers you from any virus surprises.

Enjoy Your Holiday with Peace of Mind

Most importantly, when it comes to building the confidence to travel in 2022, ensure that you remember that you are taking a trip away to escape the stresses of everyday life. Whether you are dipping your toes into a crystal clear pool in Dubai or relaxing on a pristine white-sand beach in The Maldives, we can assure you that the measures you will have taken to enter the country will be worth it. Here are just some of the places you can travel to with your newly found confidence to travel:

  • Abu Dhabi – In this shimmering city, you have the chance to tick off a bucket list’s worth of opportunities. Whether you are a fan of scenery or a fan of water parks and theme parks, you will truly love this contemporary haven. We highly recommend visiting Abu Dhabi if you would like an action-packed holiday or even just a poolside holiday, which is perfect for those who haven’t travelled since the pandemic began.
  • Turkey–Turkey is a country that everyone should visit and experience in their lifetime. It is historic and culture-filled, with cities that captivate tourists from around the globe. Antalya never fails to be a strong tourist destination, attracting many sun-seekers every year. Its scenic beauty is impossible to miss, allowing you to make photographic memories to last a lifetime! Because of this, Antalya is the perfect place to visit if this is your first travelling experience in a while.
  • America – If you are anxious about the pandemic, America is the perfect place to visit for you. The measures to protect citizens and tourists are put in place to protect you best, making it easy to stay relaxed while enjoying your trip of a lifetime! We recommend visiting Los Angeles for an action-packed trip, where you can experience some A-lister sun and maybe catch a glimpse of some movie stars!
