NEW YORK (June 10, 2022) – We welcome the news that the Biden administration is lifting the requirement that travelers test negative for COVID-19 before entering the United States. This move comes in the wake of a strong, concerted lobbying effort by Internova Travel Group, as well as our industry partners.

 

Travel and tourism are an important part of the global economy. We are in the midst of a robust season for travel as our clients plan long-delayed trips, and I am confident that lifting the testing requirement will not only accelerate the recovery of travel but also lead to more growth for our industry. Moreover, our clients can feel secure in booking overseas trips without worrying about their return home being delayed.

 

With this latest announcement, another layer of complexity in international travel has been removed. I’m even more excited about the future of travel.
