This question is the one that thousands of travelers are asking around the world. We do not have the answer yet, because the new government of the United States maintains restrictions on tourist travel and there is no set date for them to be lifted. However, there is a real cry from many US economic sectors for the mobility limitations that have strangled the country for a year to be relaxed.
As the vaccination campaign progresses and its positive effects on the population become more notorious, the voices for the United States to implement a de-escalation in restrictions will raise the tone more and more. Hence, many businessmen are preparing to resume activity as of May.
ESTA, a simple authorization to encourage travel to the United States
One of the most effective tools to promote tourism is the ESTA authorization to travel to the United States. It is a simple electronic procedure that the countries that are included in the Visa Waiver Program benefit from, among which is Spain.
The ESTA is valid for 2 years and allows access for 90 days for tourist reasons without having to go through the cumbersome and slow process to obtain a visa. It is important to clarify that with this authorization it is currently not possible to access the United States, due to the limitations mentioned above.
New York in summer 2021
If it is finally possible to travel to New York this summer, it will surely be an unforgettable experience. The city has suffered greatly from the pandemic, but it has an invincible spirit that has been glossed over in film, music and literature.
Museums such as MoMA, the Met, the Whitney, and Brooklyn, among the more than 60 that the city has, will reopen to welcome thousands of visitors. Yankee Stadium, Madison Square Garden, Flushing Meadows Park, among other sports venues, will once again vibrate with the most spectacular plays of the most recognized athletes in the world. From Times Square through all the streets of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx will once again be invaded by a melting pot of cultures in which everyone will want to lose themselves and be just another New Yorker, even for the days that the trip lasts.
The Statue of Liberty will welcome to the city and to the United States, just as it once did to immigrants seeking a better life at the beginning of the last century. Central Park will continue to be that green lung that we once wanted to cross in a carriage drawn by beautiful horses in the hope of finding one of the protagonists of multiple Hollywood television series and movies.
Without a doubt, if this summer of 2021 it is possible to travel to New York it will be great news for travelers from all over the world as well as for New Yorkers, who surely miss the joyful bustle generated by the millions of people who visited their city that never sleeps.
