The comments from Grant Shapps suggest the pandemic will permanently alter the way people travel, and that the airline and tourism industries will have to adapt to extra bureaucracy and checks when people cross borders indefinitely.
He said the pandemic had created a "new world" and that he expected countries to require passengers to be fully vaccinated before travel.
"I think double vaccination or full vaccination is going to be a feature for evermore, and most countries, probably all countries, will require full vaccination for you to enter," he told BBC radio on Thursday.
Shapps also urged more young adults to come forward to be vaccinated, warning they would not be able to travel without it.
