Many vacation destinations are working towards achieving herd immunity by summer.

Some travel destinations are already virtually corona-free.

During the corona pandemic, security plays an important role for most tourists when planning their summer vacation.

On the one hand, travel destinations close to home are popular, and on the other, destinations where corona infections are very low.

Some holiday islands in Italy, Greece * and Portugal have therefore started vaccinating islanders at an early stage in order to ensure herd immunity quickly.

That is why many islands are already corona-free - or soon will be.

Island vacation in Italy: where Corona hardly plays a role anymore

On some islands in Italy, the population has already been vaccinated so far that tourists can be welcomed again. These include the three islands of

Capri, Ischia and Procida

, which belong to the Campania region. Vaccines were quickly made available to the locals and employees of the hotel industry - with the aim of being corona-free by mid-May. The aim is to prevent millions of tourists from going to Spain, Greece or Croatia. Procida in particular could turn into an insider tip - the island can call itself Italy's cultural capital in 2022.

As

Reise.de

reports, the residents of the island of

Ustica are also

fully vaccinated, while the locals on the

Aeolian Islands

want to be free of corona by summer.

The current travel regulations make vacation planning easier: The quarantine obligation for tourists has been lifted in Italy and it also does not apply when returning to Germany if a negative corona test can be presented.

From the point of view of the Robert Koch Institute, Italy is still a corona risk area.

Corona-free vacation in Greece: these islands are ready for tourists

Already

69 islands of Greece

may be described as corona-free, according to the Handelsblatt. The islands are not the big tourist magnets like Crete or Corfu, but rather smaller islands like

Meganisi, Thymena, Fourni or the Aegean island of Lipsi

with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants - but here, too, it is to be expected that tourism will be promoted is soon stirred vigorously. By the end of May, another 25 islands with up to 10,000 inhabitants are expected to achieve herd immunity.

It is not for nothing that Greece has steadily relaxed its corona measures in recent weeks.

The

entry by air is possible without quarantine duty

and who also does not have to go into self-isolation by car over the border posts Evzoni (northern Macedonia), Ormeni and Promachonas (Bulgaria).

Corona vaccinated persons no longer need to present a negative PCR test.

Only the entry form still has to be filled out by all travelers.

Nevertheless, it should be noted that Greece is currently still classified as a risk area.

Portugal vacation in the Azores: Herd immunity prevails on this island

Corvo

, the smallest inhabited island in the Azores, achieved herd immunity back in March.

The approximately 430 residents are almost completely vaccinated, which is why vacationers do not have to worry about a possible corona infection.

However, a test is currently compulsory when entering the country by plane - the negative PCR test must not be older than 72 hours.

In addition, an online questionnaire must be filled out, from which a barcode is created.

In addition, the Azores are currently still considered a risk area.
