Are we travelling in the same continent?

Travel is a huge PITA in Europe. Tons of different ever changing regulations, not to mention expensive tests from tons of unreliable newly-sprung companies with little reputation. I had to book tests in advance and sometimes on returns. It's a massive pain and tourism was heavily impacted.

I wish the government would pay for this stupid bureaucracy instead it's small businesses which are going to die.

The US implemented it correctly: you're vaccinated -> you can travel without hassle.

Unless you are a European.
