Port Louis, 16 February 2022 – In a news release issued on Monday 14 February 2022, the
Prefecture of Reunion Island has announced that “the special provisions made by
ministerial decree to restrict travel between Reunion, Mauritius and South Africa have
been repealed. Travel to these two destinations is subject to the general principle provided
for their colour zone: orange for Mauritius and South Africa.”
Mauritius is listed in the “orange” category and the softening of the Prefecture’s position
has brought a welcome relief for Mauritian tourism operators, who are already preparing
to welcome back visitors from the sister island in strict compliance with current health
standards.
“Reunion is an important market for Mauritian tourism. We are pleased that this decision
has been reconsidered. We look forward to welcoming back our brothers and sisters from
Reunion and restoring the strong ties that bind us together. Both our economies will
automatically benefit, as Mauritius is a major source of revenue for travel agencies in
Reunion,” says Arvind Bundhun, CEO of the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority
