Global Travel Update: February 14th Edition
Current requirements and restrictions on travel
This weekly update is just a selection of the latest information on entry requirements and new restrictions. For a full list of destinations and each country's entry requirements for U.S. and Canadian passport holders, please visit our website.
The list of international travel destinations that your clients can safely travel to is ever-changing, so all outbound passengers should check with the U.S. Embassy or Canadian Government and their preferred airline before finalizing travel plans. And while the Government of Canada has strongly advised against non-essential travel, our Destination Experts are happy to help you craft trips for your Canadian clients departing later in the year and into 2022.
