EU Set to Allow Vaccinated American Leisure Travel

"BRUSSELS — American tourists who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 will be able to visit the European Union over the summer, the head of the bloc’s executive body said in an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, more than a year after shutting down nonessential travel from most countries to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

“The Americans, as far as I can see, use European Medicines Agency-approved vaccines,” Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said Sunday in an interview with The Times in Brussels. 'This will enable free movement and the travel to the European Union.'

Ms. von der Leyen did not offer a timeline on when exactly tourist travel might open up or details on how it would occur. But her comments are a top-level statement that the current travel restrictions are set to change on the basis of vaccination certificates."

Are we surprised

I can't speak for other countries but in Spain we've had a lot of people coming for whatever reasons (and who in their right mind would visit a foreign country in this circumstances) for months while we could barely leave our cities. WBK wealthy people are above the rules as usual.
