高山国家重新进入封锁状态，随着假期的开始暂停旅游业

Austria has introduced unprecedented new Covid measures, Ireland's under a midnight curfew, but India has reopened to vaccinated tourists.

Here are some of the biggest developments in travel this week:

It's beginning to look a lot like ... lockdown

Nights are drawing in, there's frost in the air, and Austria has become the first European nation to reimpose a national lockdown this winter. That means tourism will be temporarily suspended, according to the country's official travel portal. Austria also plans to become the first country in the continent to make Covid-19 vaccinations mandatory for all eligible people.

Next door, Germany is also fighting a Covid surge. Munich's legendary Christmas market has been canceled for the second year in a row and Berlin has banned unvaccinated people from entertainment venues, restaurants and bars.

But things are picking up in Asia

India suffered greatly when it was hit by a calamitous second Covid wave this spring, but it now has some of the lowest case rates in the world, earning it a CDC Level 1 rating as a low-risk travel destination.

On Monday, it opened its borders to fully vaccinated foreign tourists on commercial flights for the first time since the pandemic began.

Elsewhere in the region, Cambodia has ended quarantine for vaccinated travelers and the Philippines says it will reopen to tourists "soon."

Ireland is now a Cinderella state

Irish revelers now need to leave their Prince Charmings and hurry home from the ball. On Thursday, Ireland imposed a midnight curfew on bars, restaurants and nightclubs, just a few weeks after nightclubs reopened for the first time since March 2020.

Elsewhere in Europe, the Netherlands has returned to partial lockdown and Hungary and the Czech Republic are among four new additions to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's highest-risk travel category.

Thanksgiving travel will near pre-pandemic levels

In the United States, there'll be a lot more turkey shared compared to last year, as holiday travel is expected to be back almost to the good old days of 2019. Here are our tips on handling the rush.

Around 53.4 million Americans are likely to be on the move, among them Jamal Hinton, who will be continuing his tradition of visiting his "Grandma Wanda" in Arizona. The pair met in 2016 when Wanda Dench accidentally sent the teenaged Hinton a Thanksgiving invite meant for her grandson and an unlikely friendship blossomed.

高山国家重新进入封锁状态，随着假期的开始暂停旅游业

奥地利采取了前所未有的新 Covid 措施，爱尔兰实行午夜宵禁，但印度已对接种疫苗的游客重新开放。

以下是本周旅游领域的一些重大进展：

它开始看起来很像……锁定

夜幕降临，空气中结霜，奥地利成为今年冬天第一个重新实施全国封锁的欧洲国家。据该国官方旅游门户网站称，这意味着旅游业将暂停。奥地利还计划成为非洲大陆第一个对所有符合条件的人强制接种 Covid-19 疫苗的国家。

隔壁的德国也在与新冠肺炎疫情作斗争。慕尼黑传奇的圣诞市场已连续第二年取消，柏林也禁止未接种疫苗的人进入娱乐场所、餐馆和酒吧。

但亚洲的情况正在好转

印度在今年春天遭受灾难性的第二波 Covid 冲击时遭受了巨大损失，但它现在拥有世界上最低的感染率，使其成为 CDC 1 级低风险旅游目的地。

周一，自大流行开始以来，它首次向乘坐商业航班的完全接种疫苗的外国游客开放边境。

在该地区的其他地方，柬埔寨已结束对已接种疫苗的旅客的隔离，菲律宾表示将“很快”重新对游客开放。

爱尔兰现在是一个灰姑娘国家

爱尔兰狂欢者现在需要离开他们的白马王子并从舞会上赶回家。周四，就在夜总会自 2020 年 3 月以来首次重新开放几周后，爱尔兰对酒吧、餐馆和夜总会实施了午夜宵禁。

在欧洲的其他地方，荷兰已恢复部分封锁，匈牙利和捷克共和国是美国疾病控制与预防中心最高风险旅行类别的四个新增成员之一。

感恩节旅行将接近大流行前水平

在美国，与去年相比，共享火鸡的人数会更多，因为假期旅行预计将几乎回到 2019 年的美好时光。以下是我们处理高峰的技巧。

大约有 5340 万美国人可能会出门，其中包括贾马尔·辛顿（Jamal Hinton），他将继续他在亚利桑那州拜访他的“万达奶奶”的传统。两人于 2016 年相识，当时万达·丹奇不小心给十几岁的辛顿寄了一份感恩节邀请函，邀请函是给她孙子的，一段不太可能的友谊就此展开。
