Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

COVID-19 vaccinations are underway in the U.S., Canada and other countries and will increase dramatically in the coming months. The chief science advisor of Operation Warp Speed, the U.S. government's expedited search for development and delivery of a vaccine, has said that every American who wants a vaccine will be able to get one by June. Health officials in Canada have said that all Canadians who want a vaccine will receive one by September.

The vaccine rollout marks the turning point in the battle against COVID-19 and the global travel industry is finally on a sure path to reopening. That reopening will take months to play out and will likely occur on a country-by-country basis. We will let you know when other countries' travel bans are removed.

In the meantime, we are here to help with your vacation planning. Please note that anyone holding a future travel credit from a cancelled tour is able to apply that credit to any tour with the same company booked through Vacations To Go, regardless of whether the original tour was booked through Vacations To Go.
