Are the activities and services that I’m interested in available?
Do the hotels have any good cleaning protocols?
Am I goin to be tested for COVID-19 at the airport or do I have to quarantine when I arrive?
How did this country handle COVID-19 spikes in the past?
Do I have a travel insurance that will cover me if I want to cancel or if I got sick while on vacation?
