    Do you think all the effort put into this will make the site sustainable in the future? If not, how do you plan to shift focus, if you would have to?

      Great question, thanks for asking! Our travel restrictions information tool helped us build up an email list of ~73k+ and over ~5M people have used our site within the last year. That's pretty good exposure. We're using this as a jumping-off point to launch another travel product that will be longer-lived.

      We also learned a lot, especially about automating SEO at scale using a data set we purchased, which we'll use moving forward with additional data and new keyword targets.

      This information tool will live on to detail ongoing requirements for additional vaccinations needed, documents, visas, etc. These will never disappear completely.

    That's really useful, thanks! I'm glad that nowadays, most of the covid restrictions are over, and I can finally plan a trip to the Galapagos Islands. This article about what you need to know if you are traveling to Galapagos this year really helps me get prepared for the trip, so I hope there will be nothing unexpected that can cancel my plans.

    My first reaction: This is amazing! Exactly what I've been looking for.
    Then I looked at Iceland restrictions for U.S. travelers and immediately see the data is incorrect.

    Second reaction: Dammit... bad data is almost worse than no data.

    If that can get sorted out, it'll be fantastic.

      Could you also tell me specifically what was incorrect?

          Perhaps it's a bit more of status is about to change or more detail, etc.
          I'm not sure if you've come across this, but this has been one of the more up-to-date/detailed sources I've seen: https://www.aircharterservice.com/travel-restriction-updates

            Ah okay. Thanks.

      Hi There,

      Thanks for your feedback! Completely agree. We have additional fields we need to show in the UI that will clear up a lot of corner cases with the data.

      Hope you'll bear with us here. Thanks!
