Some of Mexico's most well-known tourist hotspots, Cancun, Tulum, and Riviera Maya, aim to welcome international travelers by early June, according to Riviera Maya News.

The Quintana Roo tourism board (the state in which the destinations are located) told Riviera Maya News that this reopening will coincide with the resuming of flights from the US, Canada, and Europe to the area and that it expects to travel to initially center around weddings and conventions. It says that new hygiene protocols will be put in place.

According to Travel + Leisure, Los Cabos similarly announced a phased reopening plan, which includes putting in place a "Clean Point" quality certification for cleaning measures that hotels, restaurants, and tour providers must obtain. Phase 1, starting June 1, will allow for limited travel while these new health and safety protocols are enforced, while phase 2, which is the opening of the airport's international terminal, is targeted for July.

Home to Europe's deadliest coronavirus outbreak, Italy has also seen the continent's longest lockdown, with its 62 million residents self-isolating at home from March 10 to May 4.

According to Italy's La Repubblica newspaper, Italy's government announced that it plans to allow international travel starting June 3 and that this date will also mean the end of requiring arriving visitors to quarantine themselves for 14 days. Business Insider's Kieran Corcoran notes that initially it may be possible that only Europeans are able to visit, as the EU requires member states to keep borders closed to non-Europeans until June 15.

Following the plan, the Italian island of Sicily has offered to reduce half of visitors' flight costs and a third of hotel expenses should they visit later this year.
