International travellers will be able to visit Mauritius from July 15, 2021, first staying in one of 14 ?resort bubbles": which have been specially set up to welcome them to the island.
The Indian Ocean Island will be opening in phases during 2021 and the first phase, from July 15 - September 30, 2021, will enable vaccinated travellers to enjoy a resort holiday on the island.
Holidaymakers will be able to enjoy facilities within their chosen hotel including the swimming pool and beach. Guests staying for 14 days having negative PCR tests during their stay in the resort, will then be able to leave the hotel and travel about the island freely for the rest of their stay. However, for shorter stays, they may leave the resort earlier and travel back home.
Nilen Vencadasmy, chairman of Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority said: ?Mauritius is delighted to be welcoming international visitors from July 15, 2021 with our 14 unique resort bubbles that allow international visitors to enjoy a safe and secure holiday experience. Mauritius has worked closely with hotels, airlines and tour operators to develop and prepare the resort bubble concept in advance of our full reopening on October 1, 2021.?
