10 International Destinations You Can Visit This Fall

While most countries are maintaining shuttered borders this fall, a few international travel destinations are welcoming American visitors. Colombia, Kenya and Croatia are among the cautiously optimistic that’s betting on a tourism revival in the midst of a possible fall pandemic sequel.

The COVID-19 threat guarantees a decline in fall travelers, just as we all witnessed in the spring. That also means more promotions, deals and opportunities for those not easily frightened off by the pandemic. Flights will continue to be competitively priced as will hotel accommodations. And because less people are flying, airports and planes are generally less crowded.

So if you have a passport and no where to be, here are a few travel destinations that you should consider this fall.

10. Colombia

South America’s infamous neighbor still has some edge, but isn’t the place Netflix makes it out to be. Colombia has moved on from life after Pablo and is embracing its dance, music, food and culture.
