The record-setting coronavirus infection numbers in Europe this week may not bode well for U.S. travelers hoping to return to the continent anytime soon. On July 1, the European Union began to allow travelers from some countries back in, but not those from the United States. Eduardo Santander, executive director of the European Travel Commission, said in an email that while the current situation across Europe is alarming, it is not a surprise. While the future for travel to Europe may be uncertain, Americans are still eager to book international trips for next year. In the meantime, the department advises travelers to keep an eye out for information on any developments regarding European travel restrictions.
