The Dominican Republic has been open to tourism since July and recently removed its COVID-19 testing requirement in favor of random rapid testing for a small percentage of arrivals.
The country also offers travelers free insurance until the end of the year to cover potential costs in case they fall ill with the coronavirus.
The Dominican Republic remains one of the most popular international destinations amid the pandemic, as it remains one of the most accessible to Americans, who do not need to be tested or isolate themselves for two weeks to visit.
