Travel - Still On Hold (For Now!)

Written January 31, 2021

At Wanderlust Concierge, we have made it part of our mission to say yes as much as possible to your wishes and dreams; it is we truly do hate saying no.

Right now, that something can't be done.

Even as the world has grappled with uncertainty, lockdowns, and constantly changing regulations, we have made it a priority to stay on top of these regulations and restrictions for you.

Some of you have enquired with us already about taking trips this winter, and we have always been upfront and honest about what additional risks you are taking by choosing to travel now. But, we have been resistant to issuing a blanket statement to completely avoid travel. We believe in providing professional guidance and expertise, and that decision ultimately rests with you.

However, on Friday, January 29th the government of Canada released additional restrictions imposed upon anyone leaving or entering the country.

In addition to the cancellation of all flights to Mexico and the Caribbean until April 30th, the government is planning to add conditions that all incoming travellers to Canada will be tested on arrival and must isolate in a designated hotel at their own expense (which is expected to be over $2000 per person). More details on the government's statement can be found here .

Given these additional restrictions, we can no longer condone any travel outside Canada at this time.

It pains us to say this, but now is the time to stay home and dream about future trips, not the time to take them just yet.

We are travellers too. We have created our new company, Wanderlust Concierge, during very turbulent times, but with a clear focus that so many travellers are like us: constantly dreaming and planning the next trail to hike, sights to see, or beach to lay on. We are committed to making those dreams a reality for you when the time is right. And we have full confidence that these restrictions will not last, that travel will resume, and the world will open up again soon.

Later this week we will be telling you about some new and exciting travel experiences that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home, but for now we wish to close off January by wishing you all health and happiness, and thanking you for continuing to trust us with your dreams.

Sincerely,
your Wanderlust Concierges,

Jessica and David
