Avoid: Variable Virgin Islands (British)

Caribbean Escape, Virgin Islands
Despite the actions taken by other Caribbean countries, Cane Garden Bay, shown deserted above, in the Virgin islands may remain empty to tourists for a while longer. After repetitive government lockdowns, unreasonable curfews, exuberant quarantine fees and no rapid PCR testing (1 hour or less) for arriving guests, the British Virgin Islands struggles to reopen for international visitors. Initially scheduled on September 1st, conflicts with inconsistent planning leaves the isles as the one to avoid until official opening, December 1, 2020.
