People have been itching to go to places far and wide, but with COVID-19 still very much a serious threat, it is not optimal to just go to any place. But data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and 2021's Global Peace Index (GPI) have deemed a couple of places safe.
Prior to traveling, visitors should do a thorough research on their travel destination's protocol regarding COVID-19.
To those who have been vaccinated (if mandated) and are all ready to go on an adventure, here are the best and safest places to travel to this year so far:
Fiji
Fiji, a paradise in the South Pacific, is a must visit to travelers, and while the archipelagic country has reopened with COVID-19 testing requirements, upcoming visitors should be happy to know that it begins 2022 at Level 1 on the State Department's travel advisory scale.
Furthermore, the CDC has also reported a Level 1 travel advisory for Fiji. This means that Fiji has a low level of COVID-19. Notably, Level 1 travel advisory means that visitors should exercise normal precautions. So if you're ready for some sun, plan your next Fiji trip!
United Arab Emirates
Home to a plethora of wonders such as Dubai's Burj Khalifa and Marina, Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Mosque, and many more, the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East is once again one of the few countries to be dubbed a Level 1 travel advisory at the start of this 2022.
Thus, if you're ready to traverse the world via the back of a camel, the UAE is the best place to travel to next.
British Virgin Islands
The charm of the British Virgin Islands begins with its beaches that are lined with beautiful coral reefs which can be seen by tourists who want to travel to the country. Notably, the British Virgin Islands have received Level 1 travel advisories from both the State Department and CDC.
Iceland
As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, Iceland ranks number one on the GPI and tops the list of Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection's ranking of the safest places to travel to for 2022.
The island nation is known as the Land of Fire and Ice due to its volcanoes and glaciers. Iceland is also dotted with natural wonders such as The Blue Lagoon and Dettifoss Waterfall. Are you ready to go on a viking voyage? Then Iceland is for you.
