I would be curious to see the numerical drop in tourism from Canada.
The restrictive rules certainly don't envision a relaxing beach vacation getaway
It was annoying and somewhat cumbersome the first time, getting my E-ticket, Vaxx record, PCR test, and ArriveCan all filled out and completed.
In addition to packing, planning, arranging all the usual travel stuff. In addition to traveling alone with an overnight hotel layover in YYZ and twin 4 year olds.
Resorts provided the PCR test, so the AI crowd likely had Pedro from Sunwing holding their hand through each step as well as explaining it for the 17th time to those hungover or still not quite sober.
I had to wait an hour in a crowded Amadita for my number to come up only to find out from Yulenis that my results wouldn’t be ready for 5 days. Tell her that’s no good, walk a block up the street to Referencia, be in and out in 15 minutes to get what I needed.
But if I had to do it again, it would be somewhat less annoying and cumbersome. I would complain about it, but all the new red tape is the new reality whether we like it or not.
My husband returns via PUJ today and was delayed for 2 hours by an antimasker who was eventually removed by security. Now he has a layover because he missed his connection.
So actually the 4 year olds were kind of the easy part for me.
