After over a year from the first Covid infections, we seem to be seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Despite the discovery of new variants of the virus, the arrival of vaccines has brought new stimulus to travellers and, consequently, the hope to the entire tourism sector which, in this crazy year, has recorded average losses of 60% (in the hotel and NCC world, even peaks of 90%).The hope is to be able to travel safely throughout Europe by July, thus avoiding a second year of restrictions that would be fatal for many tourism companies. Meanwhile, in Italy, from June 21st, the ‘technical trials’ for a return to normality will begin!
Travel within Europe
In Europe, the massive vaccination campaign initially promised to all EU member countries is beginning to take shape and, as reported by Le Figaro, 70% of the population is expected to be vaccinated by July.
It has also been confirmed that the European ‘vaccination passport’ (green pass) is available from this week, so that people can finally travel safely!

Travel within Italy
While we wait for the progress of the vaccinations of the European neighbours, from 21 July Italy will ‘restart’ with almost all white regions (with the exception of D’Aosta Valley, still yellow):
Based on the Covid risk of contagion, Italy is once again divided by colour:

It is not yet clear who will be the body in charge of issuing the national PASS, but certainly, in order to apply for it, it will be necessary to prove that you have either:
– been vaccinated
– tested negative to a PCR test within the previous 48 hours
– recovered from Covid within the last 180 days

Travel insurance
For some that have started traveling again in 2021, it feels as if it was their first time going on a trip! We have seen a slow and steady increase in travel compared to last year. However, flexibility has been key to make travel easier while making sure everyone is safe. Depending on the country and circumstances regarding COVID-19 cases, some travel regulations can change from one day to the next. Travel insurance is something that some consider because it could save you time and money. Some policies can cover trip cancellation/interruption, emergency medical expenses, and even issues with baggage. If you’re looking for alternatives and a backup plan, make sure to compare so you can get the best travel insurance coverage and that can secure your future trip plans.
