New hope for tourism as ‘No Quarantine’ announced for visitors from the EU, UK and Israel.
There are many signs of a restart for tourism including changes to quarantine from 15th May for travellers entering Italy from the European Union.
Following talks between the Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio and the Health Minister Roberto Speranza regarding reopening to tourists for the summer period, Italy has announced as of 15th May, no quarantine is required for visitors from the EU, United Kingdom and Israel who can present a vaccination certificate, a swab with negative result or a certificate of recovery from Covid in the last six months.
The Government announced it is working to allow access to all countries with high vaccination levels and parameters are being defined so that residents can enter Italy.
Covid free flights will be increased for US citizens. The goal is to reopen by mid-June by suspending the quarantine for tourists from the USA with the application of the same criteria already in force for those entering from Europe, Great Britain and Israel.
Italy is also working on the implementation of COVID free flights to Dubai, for the Expo which begins in October.
The European Union are working on the Green Pass certificate that aims to make mobility between Italian regions and in European easier and safer to allow travel to resume.
The Italian Green Pass will come into force from May 16, 2021, while the European Green Pass is scheduled for the second half of June.
