With the mass vaccination plan in place, it aims to help boost the tourism industry recover, with many countries implementing digital medical records to show those who have had their vaccine.
As a result, many countries have opened their borders to those with both vaccine doses or waiving any mandatory quarantine rules for those tourists.

According to Georgia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, those who have both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, along with the documents to prove it, they can enter the country without having to quarantine. Entry restrictions were lifted for those with vaccinations back in February.
Romania

Last week, the Seychelles announced its intent to reopen its borders to all countries at the end of March.
The island getaway’s government announced that borders would reopen on March 25 to visitors. In line with safety protocols, a negative COVID-19 PCR test will be required to be taken within 72 hours of departure to the Seychelles.
Prior to this, if you wanted to travel to the Seychelles and avoid quarantine, visitors were required to have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
