MAURITIUS EASES OUT TRAVEL PROTOCOL FOR VACCINATED TRAVELLERS AS FROM 1 SEPTEMBER 2021
With the successful vaccination rollout, travel protocols for vaccinated travellers are being
further relaxed. As from 1st September, vaccinated guests would spend only 7 days in a special
‘resort bubble’ hotel before going out to discover more of the Indian Ocean paradise.
The approved Covid-19 safe resorts are available at: https://mauritiusnow.com
The percentage of people vaccinated in Mauritius:
- first dose: 63%
- fully vaccinated: 56%
Arvind Bundhun, Director of MTPA, said: “This is a major leap towards the full reopening of its
borders on 1st October, when vaccinated international travellers will be welcomed in without
restrictions. Visitors who present a negative PCR test taken in the 72 hours prior to
embarkation will be able to explore the island freely from the moment they arrive”.
The Mauritian government took the decision in January to prioritise tourism workers and hotel
staff in the vaccine rollout to ensure visitors will be welcomed into a safe and secure
environment in Mauritius.
Airline capacity from Europe and the Middle East is currently provided by Air Mauritius,
Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Air France, Kenya Airways and British Airways.
International visitors can currently book their ‘resort bubble’ holidays either via tour operators
or directly with the hotels. Unvaccinated travellers are required to complete a 14-day
quarantine period in a designated quarantine hotel.
