Since Italy relaxed entry restrictions for travelers originating outside the European Union on March 1, the travel experts at comparison site Next Vacay have noted an incredible 1,300-percent year-over-year increase in searches for “enter Italy from USA”.

Next Vacay Founder and CEO Naveen Dittakavi remarked, “Americans—and other non-E.U. travelers—are allowed to enter Italy for tourism without mandatory quarantine, and only a standard Green Pass will be needed: either a vaccination certificate, a recovery certificate, or a negative test result.”
