Korea planning 'travel bubbles' with Guam and Saipan
The Korea Herald is reporting that South Korea is planning to create “travel bubbles” between Korea and Guam and Saipan.
This comes as Korea’s vaccination rate continues to increase and the country strives to normalize travel as it reaches its target herd immunity by November.
The Korea Herald cites the South Korean Transport Ministry’s announcement that only group tours will be allowed at the beginning, with one or two flights flying a week, carrying up to some 200 passengers once a travel bubble is formed, with plans to extend the scale of the travel scheme later.
The International Air Transport Association defines a travel bubble as “a state-level agreement that enables international air travel between two or more countries based on a mutually agreed set of public health mitigation measures.”
