A holiday paradise in the South Pacific will soon open up to tourists again.
However, specific regulations for entry have yet to be determined.
Holiday paradises like Bali or the Seychelles are heavily dependent on tourism - no wonder that there is a lot of work being done here to bring holidaymakers back to the country soon.
Since the end of March, travelers have even been allowed to return to the Seychelles without quarantine, but with a negative PCR test.
Now another vacation paradise wants to get involved again:
Tahiti
is planning to be the first country in Oceania to open up to tourists.

Tahiti is part of
French Polynesia
and is located in the South Pacific.
The islands there are known for their bungalows, which are built in the water and exude a luxurious flair.
Tourists
should
finally be able to enjoy this again
from May 1st
, as stated on the website of the tourism association.
What the entry for vacationers should look like in concrete terms - for example, whether there will be easing - has not yet been clarified.
A concept for this is to be developed in the coming days.
Until then, the previous rules will apply.

To enter French Polynesia, a
negative PCR test
that is not older than 72 hours is
required
, as the Federal Foreign Office informs.
You also need a self-declaration that you are symptom-free, as well as health insurance or a commitment to cover costs for a Covid 19 disease.
Travelers must also complete an online registration in which the travel and stay dates are specified - the so-called
ETIS (Electronic Travel Information System)
.
After entry, those affected receive a test kit for a corona self-test, which should be carried out four days after entry.
According to a message from the Tourism Office of French Polynesia, the overseas territory currently has
fewer than 20 new corona cases per week
(as of April 7).
Nevertheless, the Federal Foreign Office continues to classify it as a corona risk area.
