Mauritius will allow fully vaccinated travellers to enter without restriction from 1 October, its tourism board has confirmed.

Tourism employees were prioritised during the vaccine rollout, including hotel staff, Air Mauritius employees, airport staff and other front line tourism workers

On 15 July, the Indian Ocean island entered phase one of its reopening plan which allowed fully inoculated individuals to quarantine for two weeks in one of its 14 "resort bubbles".

Following an acceleration of the country’s vaccination programme, it has now green-lit phase two of its reopening schedule, which allows vaccinated travellers with a negative PCR test taken 72 hours before departure to "freely explore" the island without quarantine restrictions.
