Spring is gradually entering into its rights - excellent news, but, alas, foreign countries, where Russian tourists are waiting, does not become much more. Of course, hotels in the north of Thailand, in popular areas of the provinces of Chiang Mai, lowered prices by 90% in order to somehow keep the tourist flow at an acceptable level, but we are unlikely to please this news. It does not inspire the fact that Mauritius closed borders for foreign tourists until March 25, and Latvia, although opens air traffic with Russia from March 17, our tourists are not waiting. In general, judging by the statistics, the inhabitants of Russia are interested in rest on their land, both cruises on rivers use in great demand. In the top - water travel at Solovetsky Islands and programs with a visit to Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Kostroma, Yaroslavl, Karelia. We tell me that another interesting and important thing happened on a tourist Niva in a week.
Bali
The authorities chose three green zones for receiving tourists from abroad. Initially, the list was wider, but in the end they stopped at Ubud, Sanur and Nusa Dua. According to Governor Bali, the creation of "green areas" is part of the new strategy of COVID-19 Safe Travel, implying vaccination of persons living and working near foreign tourists. At the same time, when the country starts accepting foreign guests in such a format, until it is very clear.
Greece
Greece's authorities plan to open borders for tourists since May 14, but only if the epidemiological situation is allowed. We are not only about the countries of the European Union: tourists from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine will also be able to get to Greece. The complete opening of the borders for the EU and tourists from countries with active practices of vaccination is possible in April.
Egypt
National Office for Egypt's Tunnels (NAT) is going to combine the high-speed lines of railways, all the most visited places visited by tourists, including the main resort of the Red Sea - Hurghada. Transportation will be a special high-speed electric train. The length of railway lines will be 460 km and 200 km. The first one, which is planned to be surrendered in two years, will not be particularly tourist - from Ain-Srested on the Red Sea and to Alamine on the Mediterranean. The second - from 20 stations - will be held between Allamine and Marsa Mars. Over time, rail branches will extend. So, the road from Ain-Sokhana will go to Hurghada, then to Luxor, and the other - the continuation of the second branch - will connect Alexandria and Aswan along the Nile. Trains will move at a speed of 250 kilometers per hour.
Madeira
A tourists with antibodies can get to the resorts of the autonomous region of Portugal: both past vaccinations and recovered after the disease. The passage to the island will be the appropriate document on the presence of antibodies in English - the official certificate of vaccination or "proof of recovery from COVID-19" in the last 90 days, that is, the test for the presence of antibodies. The required confirmation is recommended to send to the Madeirasafe.com app before traveling. Whatever it was, but rest on Madeira is worth spent effort, because last year the island received the title of the best place to rest in Europe against the pandemic background - the World Travel Awards Award, ahead of the Canary and Balearic Islands, Crete and Cyclades, Cyprus, Malta, Sicily and Sardinia and even Portuguese azors.

UAE
The United Arab Emirates plan to soon become the sector of vaccine tourism, however, not for everyone. The richest country of Persian bay introduced more than six million doses for its own 10 millionth population, and its vaccination program is the second in the world in successful after Israel. So far, only citizens have the right to the vaccine, but, as the media, the cherished "dose" has already received high-ranking faces of non-residents entering the UAE with private jets. For example, last week sisters of the Spanish King Philip VI were vaccinated here.
Saudi Arabia
It is expected that by 2030, a mega resort from 50 hotels will appear on 22 islands of the Red Sea and six inner sections of the coast and approximately 1,300 residential facilities for tourists with a total area of about 28,000 square kilometers! The country is going to repeat the success of Egypt with Hurghada. Is one of the most closed in terms of tourism countries gradually opens the boundaries?

Thailand
Since April, the kingdom authorities will reduce obligatory quarantine for foreign tourists: for vaccinated - from 14 to 7 days, for all others - from 14 to 10 days. And all because more than 250 thousand people have already vaccinated in the world and the process continues! The question of the complete abolition of quarantine from October 1 in those zones of Thailand, where the vaccination of health workers, volunteers, travel businesses and people from risk groups was carried out by 70%.
