Aruba Removes COVID-19 Entry Requirements
The Aruba Tourism Authority (ATA) announced on Thursday that the island’s government has abolished its COVID-19-related entrance criteria for all foreign passengers as of March 19. The reduced standards were implemented as part of Aruba’s “Path Forward” initiative, which aims to “continue the island’s transformation to higher levels of normality,” according to ATA authorities.
The nation’s Embarkation/Disembarkation card will still be needed to be completed before to arrival, and tourists will still be required to acquire Aruba Travelers Insurance prior to entering the Caribbean island.
The Path Forward initiative “draws on the expertise of global health institutions such as the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as prominent scientists and experts,” according to ATA representatives.
It is expected that the existing environment and evolving circumstances would be monitored on a continuous basis by the Aruban government, healthcare systems, and tourist business in order to decide how to further adjust, if required.”
In accordance with the country’s Health & Happiness Code, which defines “stringent cleanliness and hygiene requirements” for all tourism-related enterprises, Aruba authorities previously lowered COVID entrance test criteria and announced the relaxation of local COVID rules.
The Health and Happiness Code continues to be in place because “the health and well-being of Aruba’s tourists and inhabitants continues to be a priority,” according to ATA representatives. Towards the end of last year, low-cost airline Frontier Airlines began offering weekly flights to Aruba from Orlando International Airport.
