Cuba, the United Arab Emirates and Florida are all offering a new twist on package-deal vacations, to say the least. Customers who opt for travel agencies' "all-inclusive" formula could, as a 'bonus,' get vaccinated against COVID-19, sometimes free of charge.
"Vaccine tourism"—This is the term being used to designate this new type of offer that is popping up in sunshine destinations such as Cuba, Florida and Dubai. The principle? To get access to a vaccination against the coronavirus, as countries around the world distribute their lots in different fashions and with different priorities.
These somewhat unusual offers are governed, however, by clear rules: stay for at least three weeks in one of the areas concerned. For example, that's the case for Cuba, which plans to integrate this offer into the "all-inclusive" travel package as of March, with the very attractive slogan: "Beaches, Caribbean, mojitos and vaccines, all in one place".
