It is a piece of good news for the air passengers from India that Mauritius has recently dropped the requirement for all incoming international travellers to present a negative PCR test before being allowed to the country.
As per the earlier guidelines, fully vaccinated passengers were allowed to present a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours before departure. However, the Ministry of Health and Wellness of Mauritius has dropped this requirement from 12 March 2022.
The move from the Mauritius government will make it much easier for business and leisure travellers to visit country and is being warmly welcomed by the travel and hospitality industry in Mauritius.
The demand from air passengers and tourists has increased after the reopening of its borders to international travel since last October, which coincided with the unlocking of travel restrictions in many of Mauritius’ key markets.
