The Covid-19 pandemic has dealt a heavy blow to the smokeless industry worldwide. The number of tourists at famous tourist destinations has dropped sharply. Therefore, as soon as the epidemic situation was under control, many countries began to reopen and remove many restrictions to attract tourists. Photo: Unsplash
However, some places have yet to remove the final barriers to fully reopen to visitors. Upon entry, visitors will need to present a vaccine passport, proof of recovery, or a negative test result in some countries and territories. Photo: AFP.
