Some destinations are shutting out unvaccinated travelers. Here are a few

It's one thing to require unvaccinated travelers to quarantine or undergo extra Covid tests.

It's another to bar them altogether.

A small but growing list of travel destinations is either closing its doors to unvaccinated travelers or reopening only to vaccinated ones. Either way, the unvaccinated are seeing their travel options start to dwindle as tourism-dependent nations prioritize safety and simplified entrance requirements over open-door policies for all.

Unvaccinated people no longer welcome

When Anguilla reopened last November, travelers to the small Caribbean island needed to test negative for Covid-19 before and after arriving. A rash of new cases then occurred in April, and Anguilla reclosed its borders to tourists for a month.

Now, the British overseas territory is switching tactics. Starting July 1, visitors must be vaccinated at least three weeks before arriving. This applies to "all visitors … who are eligible to be vaccinated," according to the Anguilla Tourist Board's website, which says children are exempt from the requirement.

afford to have this problem spread, their services (hospitals, doctors, etc) are limited...

I'm glad they are doing this..

I want NOTHING to do with anyone unvaccinated, period.
I am about 1,000 times more likely to go to these places than I am to travel the American Southeast or Plains...

If I had things my way, you would be forced to show vaccination records or be subject to immediate on-the-spot COVID-19 testing (the swab to the brain type of discomforting tests) or be denied entrance to all buildings. No vaccine? No entrance.

Spiccoli circa 2021?

"No Shirt, No Shoes, No Dice" should be "No shirt and shoes? No vaccine? GTFO!"


If you are an anti-vaxxer, you can freely associate with 'your people' and I hope you all cross infect and die together in gasping horror. I have no use for these types. Not a single use.

be vaccinated. DeSatan can say what he wants but the reality is those islands aren’t going to let unvaccinated cruise ship passengers on shore.
