| ![Issue 85: Asia Pacific Reopning News.](https://emailtuna.com/images/newsletter/0f6/0f671e1a3d00602434c9bad1785513e0.png) | | | It’s not just Europe that’s been relaxing travel restrictions over the past month.
Asia-Pacific—the region that’s been slowest to resume international tourism—is now seeing a swath of reopenings as omicron recedes.
Here’s the rundown of where vaccinated Americans can now travel without quarantine (only a few countries allow in unvaccinated travelers): | 🛬 Tourist favorites that have been open for a while: | 🇲🇻 Maldives 🇵🇫 Tahiti/French Polynesia 🇰🇭 Cambodia 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka 🇳🇵 Nepal 🇬🇺 Guam | 📣 Countries that have announced reopenings in the past few weeks: | 🇦🇺 Australia: Open February 21 (today!) 🇫🇯 Fiji: Reopened February 2 🇵🇭 Philippines: Reopened February 10 🇮🇳 India: Reopened February 14 🇸🇬 Singapore: Open February 21 (today!) 🇲🇾 Malaysia: Expected to reopen by March 1 🇻🇳 Vietnam: Expected to reopen by March 15 🇮🇩 Indonesia (including Bali): Expected to get rid of mandatory quarantine by April 1 🇳🇿 New Zealand: Reopening for Americans in July. Right now quarantine is still required, but there are hopes it will be scrapped | 🇯🇵 What about Japan? | The million dollar question on everyone’s mind. Mine too, I’ve got Tokyo flights booked for later this year so I’m personally invested.
In late 2021, Japan was on the cusp of easing travel restrictions. Then the omicron variant emerged and that was put on hold.
But in the past week, we’ve seen two pieces of great news.
First, cases in Japan have peaked and are beginning a fast descent.
Second, Japan officially shortened—and may be on the cusp of eliminating—its mandatory arrival quarantine. Unfortunately tourists are still currently barred from visiting, but this is a very positive development nonetheless for those of us hoping to visit in the summer or fall. “It is just the first step,” said Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
Last month, I officially predicted (with 60% confidence) that Japan would reopen for vaccinated Americans no later than August 31. I stand by that forecast, and if anything might boost my confidence level to more like 75%. | | |
