Is Tourism to a Kafir Country Permissible?
السلامُ عليكم ورحمة اللهِ وبركاتهُ
My father works in a company which requires us to travel to a different country or he will lose money from the company. In current COVID circumstances, the only place where we can travel to and back from easily is America. We do not like to go there, but it is the safest place (in terms of COVID travel). Is it permissible to go there, or must we cancel our flights? Also, is it permissible to go there with the partial intent to buy goods that are extremely and unreasonably overpriced here, but are sold in good prices there?

Wa ʿAlaykumus Salām Wa Rahmatullāhi Wa Barakātuh
In the enquired scenario, your travels are permissible and there will be no need to cancel the flights.
