Restrictions are used to describe policies imposed by a country, region, airline or airport that prevent certain groups of people to travel.
For example There is a temporary ban of entry to all non-EU/EEA citizens
Provide restrictions based on trip origin
As travel begins to resume, restrictions are often based on a traveller's point of origin instead of their nationality. See our trips page for more information.
