after 20 months of border closures, returning tourists

Twenty months later, the United States decided to reopen its borders for travelers and tourists. Since the start of the health crisis, the US government had decided to close its borders to foreigners in order to limit the spread of Covid-19 on their territory. It is now over, to the delight of visitors who were able to take the plane to America on Monday, November 8. Many French people were also delighted with this reopening.

For some, it was not just a trip, but also the possibility of reuniting with loved ones. “I was crying this morning, I couldn’t realize that she was on the plane. I asked her, ‘Did you get on well?'”, says Nesrine Sinno, American resident, who was able to find her sister. Seeing New York again was also one of the reliefs for European tourists who were deprived of the city throughout the health crisis.
