New Zealand Laos Myanmar Lifts Covid-19 restrictions for Globetrotters

The last two years have been like a nightmare for many countries that are completely dependent on tourism. Their economy, which is based on tourism, almost crashed, yet the government has to take stringent steps to curb the menace of this deadly coronavirus. But now, the situation is different; people have been vaccinated and followed the covid-19 guidelines, which resulted in a lowering of cases across the world. Countries are now issuing travel advisory so that they can once again open their tourism sector for globetrotters. They have even begun to relax the Covid-19 norms. This may again help the covid-19 virus to surge, but countries cannot keep their economies for so long. They are relaxing covid-19 norms to lure tourists to visit their country.
