UK's ETA kicks in amid dual-nationals scramble for British documents

From February 25, travellers from 85 countries will need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) to visit the UK. An ETA costs £16 (rising to £20 later) and lasts up to two years or until the passport expires, allowing multiple trips for up to six months per visit. Those who usually need a visa still need one; British or Irish citizens do not need an ETA. Dual nationals cannot obtain an ETA and must present a British passport or a certificate of entitlement to travel on their non-British passport, a process that can take weeks and add cost. The system is enforced via digital checks at check-in, and entry is not guaranteed even with a valid ETA. Several dual nationals have reported difficulties securing the necessary documents in time.

Cabo Safe From Mainland Travel Alerts, Experts Say

Amid viral chatter about a mainland travel alert, Cabo Sun says Los Cabos remains safe and is not affected by the US Embassy warning, which explicitly omits Baja California Sur where Cabo San Lucas is located. Live safety data show a high Traveler Safety Index for the area (around 93), while disruptions are concentrated in mainland hubs like Jalisco, Puerto Vallarta, and Guadalajara. Travelers should monitor airline status for potential delays, but a Cabo trip can proceed with normal resort and beach activity.

Rottnest Island’s beauty belies a history of Aboriginal incarceration and unmarked graves

CNN reports on Rottnest Island (Wadjemup) as a world‑renowned tourist destination that also hides a brutal colonial legacy: it housed Aboriginal prisoners from 1838 to 1902, many died in unmarked graves, and modern efforts—truth‑telling projects, memorialization, and Aboriginal‑led cultural tours—seek to acknowledge and reconcile this history while preserving the island’s ongoing cultural significance.

U.S. Lifts Travel Alert for Cancun and Riviera Maya as Normalcy Returns

The U.S. Embassy has lifted the shelter-in-place order for Quintana Roo, including Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum, signaling the Riviera Maya is operating normally and travel can proceed. The Pacific coast remains volatile with ongoing alerts for Jalisco and Baja California, so travelers should monitor flight schedules for potential ripple delays but can expect the Riviera Maya to be open for business.
