Plus, if the US ended the need for vaccinated persons to get a readmission test that would be awesome. Always hated ow the island had to follow Paris/Amsterdam ut in tbis case it would be great.

That is a much greater deterrent to traveling that the testing requirements of SXM.

While I certainly would prefer for the US to accept proof of vaccination in place of a test to return home, the requirements to return to the US seem much easier than getting to SXM. Other than deciding WHERE to get the test done to return, and the cost of it, that part of it has seemed relatively trouble free, versus all the troubles in the US to get to SXM, getting a test done and results in, in time, and getting approval from EHAS.

I'm not saying that I'm not concerned for others by getting on a plane with the virus, just the logistics of having to quarantine in SXM are a concern and that risk is a pretty big deterrent for a lot of people.

Which wouldn't be a concern for vaccinated travelers.

It has YET to happen. You have the MANDATORY insurance. Until there is a positive test and someone actually has to use the MANDATORY insurance, I will continue to question the validity of the testing on the island. J.D.
