Tourist corridors, 6 "exotic" destinations ready to welcome Italians

ARUBA - Aruba, Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, Dominican Republic and Red Sea with Sharm El Sheikh and Marsa Alam are the destinations ready to welcome Italian travelers.

With the order signed by the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, covid-free tourist corridors have been established, that is, tourist trips to controlled non-EU destinations and with precise safety protocols.

    Only travelers with a green pass, with the vaccine or with molecular or salivary swabs carried out 48 hours before departure and, in some cases if the trip lasts more than 7 days, repeated during the stay will be able to access the 6 exotic locations. Upon return, there is no quarantine for those who, in the previous 48 hours, carry out a new test with a negative result. The control measures also concern the accommodation facilities, which are selected according to specific security measures, and the adoption of Covid policies, which provide for any repatriation and health care in the holiday location. The opening ordinance, valid unless extended until January 31, 2022, allows you to plan the holidays for the next months until Christmas and New Year. Non-Schengen countries that open to tourism, in fact,they are just winter destinations and romantic honeymoon destinations. Booking forecasts, based on online research on travel sites, are very encouraging, albeit still rather conservative. Meanwhile, the world of tourism is asking the government to avoid complicated or too rigid protocols. "Open for Happiness" is the slogan of Aruba (aruba.com), an island in the Dutch Antilles open to happiness. Off the beaten track, the Caribbean island is constantly kissed by the sun and lined with countless soft white sand beaches. Among its most beautiful beaches is the exclusive - and private - Flamingo beach where you can swim with pink flamingos. Or you can choose Eagle, Palm and Malmok beach, where water sports of all kinds are practiced,while in the southern tip of the island you can visit the Arikok park by jeep along well-marked paths or through a few walking routes. The coast is a succession of perfect places to dive, but those who want to explore the seabed without cylinders can board a submarine and comfortably visit the sunken wrecks. Among the novelties of Aruba is the experience of a night on the private Renaissance island, for a romantic getaway or for those on honeymoon. Everything is organized down to the smallest detail, from the private boat trip to the butler with the new "Lover's Island Overnight" package.but those who want to explore the seabed without cylinders can board a submarine and comfortably visit the sunken wrecks.

    The Seychelles ask those who enter the paradisiacal archipelago off East Africa to fill out the Health Travel Authorization on the seychelles.govtas.com website, proving that they have the green pass or swabs carried out. Waiting for a greater simplification, we return to travel in the exotic archipelago of islands and atolls of the Indian Ocean between white beaches and pink granite rocks smoothed by the water, between parks and pristine bays. We return to dreaming of a romantic and wellness or sports holiday on the beautiful and famous island of La Digue, on the great Mahè with the capital Victoria and on the welcoming and paradisiacal Praslin, which offers unforgettable baths in Anse Lazio, considered one of the most beautiful in the world. We return to travel to Curieuse, an island where you can see giant tortoises,and on the islet of Coco with the most colorful and richest depths of the archipelago. In the Seychelles you can also enjoy sporting experiences such as climbing along the granite rock walls in the heart of Mahè; or holidays for the whole family with many activities and a diversified hotel sector that is attentive to the needs of those traveling with children.

    The resorts of the "Beachcomber" chain are back in operation, which in Maurutius guarantee maximum security and the "zero penalty" formula in case of cancellation of the holiday. On the mauritiusnow.com website, the webcams installed in key points of the island show live lagoons and beaches with Mauritians intent on daily activities, demonstrating how safe and full of life Mauritius is.

    With the slogan "the sunny side of life" Italian tourism in the Maldives starts again: the atolls are ready to welcome travelers, couples and families. The tour operator Alpitour expects a 400 percent increase in bookings since the opening, a very encouraging figure. Recently the Maldives government auctioned 16 atolls in the archipelago with a 50-year lease and a starting base of 210,000 euros. The initiative is part of a tourism and green relaunch program: the purchase of the land is in fact linked to the constraint of building structures dedicated to hospitality according to stringent landscape and eco-sustainable parameters. This will boost the tourist economy and entice you to travel to the most exotic archipelago, the perfect destination for Christmas and New Year.The tour operator KiboTours offers three different and paradisiacal locations: the Sun Island Resort on the island of Nalaguraidhoo, the Paradise Island Resort on the North Male Atoll and the Royal Island Resort in Horubadhoo.

    A lot of beauty and some novelties await Italian tourists in the Dominican Republic: new hotel structures, such as the Wyndham Dominicus Palace with a Creole pueblito full of local craft shops; more sporting adventures with the largest ziplines in the Caribbean in the province of Puerto Plata and in the adventure parks in Punta Cana. The latter, located in the eastern part of the Dominican Republic, is home to some of the best beaches in the world: miles of white sand, turquoise waters and a coral reef that crosses the palm-fringed coast.

    Egypt opens its two most famous locations in the Red Sea: Sharm el Sheikh and Marsa Alam.

We return to fly from the main Italian cities and there are offers from tour operators, which also aim to involve families with children in their holidays.

The world of cruises also offers trips to the Red Sea, linked to Saudi Arabia.
