For more than a year, we all have been united in fighting this pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic, which hit us in March of 2020, reached the whole world by mid-2020 and put it in lockdown. Leave traveling, even going out of the house was not allowed. Things began to look grim for everyone, but finally, after months of locking ourselves in our houses, it does seem like normalcy is gradually returning.
Since the vaccine came out, many countries are slowly re-opening their economy while others are planning to do the same. Traveling has finally become safe once again, although there are a bunch of strict guidelines that must be followed by everyone who's planning to travel. Apart from that, things look smooth for people who love traveling, and the timing couldn't be better. I mean, who wouldn't kill for a vacation after being stuck inside their house for over a year! It's a dream situation. Because of this, many countries have now opened their gates for travelers and are even offering benefits to the early birds. Let's have a look at some of them.
