GradWeek Travelers & Parents,
Happy New Year! It’s safe to say that we’re all looking forward to a better 2021!
In an effort to keep everyone informed on the latest information regarding GradWeek 2021 and COVID-19, we want to continue updating you on your GradWeek trip and destination.
We continue to see significant increases in air travel throughout the US, Mexico, and the Caribbean as resort destinations are open and welcoming tourists. Airlines, hotels, and other travel partners have made adjustments in order to make travel safe, and people are traveling!
Given the current travel requirements at our destinations, the vaccine rollout, and the time between now and our program dates, we feel confident that all our programs will run as planned! We continue to work on your behalf to secure flights, hotel, and travel components for your trip. As new information becomes available regarding travel to your destination, we will continue to update you about your senior grad-trip.
