International borders reopen

Vanuatu's international borders reopen

Vanuatu has been closed to travellers since the coronavirus pandemic hit in 2020.

Only repatriation flights were allowed during the closure.

Minister of Tourism, James Bule stated early this week that reopening the international border will provide a stimulus for economic recovery.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Vanuatu Tourism Office, Adela Aru, said after more than two years isolated from the rest of the world, today is a joyful day and her team and the local tourism industry are more than ready to start welcoming international visitors.
