Africa-Press<\/a> – Mauritius<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Mauritius is welcoming back South Africans, after confirmation by the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority that the country has lifted its travel ban for South Africa.<\/p>\n

This means that as of Friday, 10 September 2021, South Africans can once again fly to the island of Mauritius without having to first spend 15 days outside the country.<\/p>\n

Authorised commercial flights from South Africa to Mauritius will commence on 01 October 2021 namely Air Mauritius, Comair South Africa, SAA, and Fly Safair.<\/p>\n

“From 01 October 2021, fully vaccinated travelers from South Africa, will be allowed to stay at any hotel, resort, or accommodation of their choice and move freely around the island.<\/p>\n

”
\n“Unvaccinated travellers will have to undergo 14 days quarantine in a state-designated quarantine facility,” reads a statement by the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome the decision by the Mauritian government.<\/p>\n

South Africa remains a proximity and priority market for tourism on the island.<\/p>\n

We are delighted that we will be able to restart our
\nlong-standing relationship after an 18-month ban on travel.<\/p>\n

Last month, Australia, Germany France, Switzerland, Finland, and Spain also lifted travel restrictions that were imposed on South Africa during the third wave.<\/p>\n

Travel from South Africa to the United Kingdom is still banned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
