Well, that’s a complicated question. 
I do know this. Policies and situations of each country/destination continue to be in flux. You can protect yourself by booking travel with a professional travel advisor. It is possible to travel safely. We as travel advisors can keep your travel safe.
Here are a few important reasons why.
- We are constantly keeping abreast of the latest information available on entry/testing requirements for destinations around the world.
- Is that something you really want to have to figure out?
- You need a negative COVID test to re-enter the US. Do you know what to do?
- Your travel advisor can let you know what properties provide this service, how to get it set up, and will update you as the policy evolves.
- We can also assist you in purchasing travel protection for your trip investment.
- Many policies have specific coverages for COVID-related situations.
- What are the COVID requirements you must meet?
- What forms are you required to use for foreign travel, what tourist taxes are in place, what restrictions do you need to know about? We can fill in all the blanks for you.
- Resorts, hotels, cruise ships, airplanes are the cleanest/safest they have probably ever been since the beginning of time due to pandemic-inspired protocols.
- We can actually fill you in on the best options based on these protocols. 

These are just a few reasons to book your trip through a travel advisor related to the pandemic. I haven’t even touched on the special amenities and upgrades you could get. These include special packages and having someone there to help you when something goes wrong.
I imagine anyone who booked their own trip last year and had to wade through all the minutia of being canceled, getting a refund, or rebooking don’t need to be reminded how they wish they would have had a travel advisor to take care of that process for them.
So, is travel safe?
It certainly can be, as much as anything is, if you get professional help, follow protocols, and use some common sense. Don’t risk your hard-earned vacation time and money. Seek out a professional to assist you.
