Planning a trip overseas these days requires more than the usual hunt for cheap flights and a sweet hotel. Travelers need to know when they can reasonably go, which countries are ready to accept them, what will be open, what entry requirements their destination may demand and, if they care about such things, which hotels have implemented extra germ-busting protocols.
That research could take more time to undertake than flying to Amsterdam. To help navigate the tricky world of changing rules and newly unfurled welcome mats, more would-be travelers are turning to travel agents, aka "travel advisers."
