Unvaccinated travelers welcome again
This means that unvaccinated travelers can make plans to travel to the US again after years of being banned from the country. This decision is expected to bring a new wave of tourists to the US. The governor of the state of Florida says he is receiving a new wave of tourists who were not welcome for years. Florida receives millions of tourists every year from Central and South American countries, where vaccination coverage is relatively lower than in Western countries. This large group of people will now again have the opportunity to travel to the US and therefore Florida.
