The Goods on Planning International Travel in 2022 | Authentic Vacation Designs - Syndi Prokopich

We’re ALL looking forward to a new year filled with travel experiences.  

Many of my clients have so many spectacular vacations already planned and dreams of creating incredible memories.

2022 didn’t start out quite as expected with the pandemic beating us down, but one thing I keep hearing … this won’t end, so we’re ready to start planning!

The last 2 years have meant uncelebrated milestone birthdays, anniversaries, kids/grandkids graduations and making up for lost time. 

The biggest question … what should I expect when planning an International Trip for 2022? 

Enjoy a short but important list to keep in mind when planning a trip this year … 

STAY FLEXIBLE

Can’t stress this enough … the ability to rebook, knowing postponement is possible and keeping an open mind and heart … it’s not your fault.

KNOW YOUR CANCELLATION POLICIES

The Cancellation Policy for every service you book, is important to know and understand.  Hotels, tours, transportation, flights … how will they be handled in the event of borders closing or countries instituting lockdowns.  

That’s where I come in … in the event of a postponement, it’ll be handled for you as part of my service. 

MASKS ARE NEEDED

You’ll need to be prepared to wear masks at the airports, for the duration of your flights, and anywhere else they’re required.

VACCINATION (WITH BOOSTER) WILL OPEN THE WORLD

Countries are starting to require travellers to not only be vaccinated, but also have boosters.  

You’ll be required to show proof of vaccination to enter restaurants, museums, etc in many countries around the world.  Know and understand all requirements and restrictions.  

BE READY TO TAKE COVID TESTS

In addition to vaccine requirements, some countries require a negative COVID test to enter and then to return home.  The test must be taken a maximum of 48-72 before boarding your flight, but is continually changing.  

HAVE A LOCAL CONTACT

We ensure clients have the most up to date guidelines and COVID testing requirements for each country they’re visiting.  

Most of our hotel partners offer testing onsite or assist by providing clients with information on where to get tested.  

We partner with local travel suppliers/partners available to assist clients should any questions arise or if assistance is needed for a longer stay (should you test positive before coming home), or any other matters.

TRAVEL INSURANCE SPECIALISTS

Insurance has never been so important and valuable to my clients, as these last few years.  It’s not a “consideration”, it’s a must.  

Exclusive to my clients, we now offer the Priority protection Passport – Traveller Assurance Coverage.  It’s an “add-on or enhancement” to your existing Medical and Travel Insurance, to give you peace of mind assurance. It does what Insurance Companies don’t do CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO.


By continuing to work with Preferred Partners around the world, my clients are taken care of every step of the way.  These times have made travelling a bit more complicated, but we’ve adapted and adjusted to the new norm. My clients can continue to still travel safely and create unforgettable memories.
