It currently appears that it will be possible for fully-vaccinated Europeans to ski in Canada and the US this winter, after both countries had their borders closed for more than a year.
Canada has re-opened its border to leisure travellers and now The White House says the ban on EU and UK travellers coming to the US will be lifted in November – just as 21-22 the ski season is due to get underway.
In response to the news that the US ban on UK arrivals will lift from November, an ABTA spokesperson said:
“The news that double vaccinated travellers will be allowed to travel to the US from the UK from November is great news for holidaymakers, business travellers and those who have been separated from friends and family for so long. The USA is by far our most popular long-haul destination and in a normal year attracts almost five million visitors from the UK. The announcement is a very welcome boost for the winter sports market whose customers love the country’s high quality ski resorts.”
