Currently there are no countries issuing tourist visas in either Southeast Asia or East Asia. I think it's safe to say that with a possible exception of one or two countries it will still be some time before travel for tourists will resume in these regions. With the recent resurgence of COVID-19, particularily where there had not been any community cases detected in months I would not expect countries to start issuing tourist visas or visas on arrival until 2021. Of course that doesn't mean you can't plan or dream for next year. While you're staying away from the crowds and safe at home what better time to start researching for your next big adventure. I'm receiving lots of messages, inquiries from people saying they heard travel will resume in September or October or late fall in Asia. What I think is happening is as countries start opening up their borders again for business people, highly skilled experts, and investors, people are assuming that travel is also opening up for tourists. This is not the case. In order for developing countries to keep increasing growth and investment they are accomodating this sector. These people are being quarantined upon arrival and because this is a small percentage of what the tourism arrivals would be, it's manageable. Would love to hear from you and how you're managing your travel plans and dreams or get your ideas on future shows. Email:john@fareasttravels.com. Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/FarEastTravels1
