Letter to the Editor: Onerous COVID cross-border tests a barrier to travel

Lawrence Brown wrote to Tourism Update in response to Tom Nolle’s commentlast week, where he highlighted the high costs and lack of collaboration between neighbouring countries for the cross-border testing.

I completely agree with the author of the editorial about onerous COVID tests for tourists at border crossings.  We have delayed, again, our coming May five-week vacation that would take us through five countries, each of which would test us. 

We both have received the two-dose Moderna vaccine, but that wouldn’t count if one of us received a false positive test result. Two-week quarantine! So we’ll wait yet another year (or simply try somewhere else).
