Caribbean family getaways for fun in the sun

As cooler Seattle months are upon us, it’s that time of year for daydreaming about a sunny destination. Whether you’re looking to escape to the beach before the holidays or planning ahead for spring break, the good news is much of the Caribbean has reopened its doors to visitors.

While many Caribbean countries have previously limited travelers based on regional hot spots of COVID-19 trends, the start of November unveils many new travel guidelines allowing for increased tourism. In some scenarios, travelers will no longer need to provide a negative test prior to arriving, while health questionnaires continue to be the norm for international travel.

When researching your own family getaway, be sure to visit the country-specific guidelines for testing requirements, health questionaries and the potential mandate for carrying additional travel insurance. Be sure to pack for safe travels and follow all local guidelines. And prepare for what it’s like to fly during the pandemic, then pack your bags for a fun-filled family getaway to the Caribbean.
