The Cayman Islands is moving to Phase 4 of its reopening plan, which means vaccinated travellers who are securely verified can enter without quarantine from November 20.
"The health and security of our residents and visitors have always been the government's number one priority, and our COVID experience throughout the pandemic has been exemplary to date," said Kenneth Bryan, Minister for Tourism and Transport.
"With a high percentage of the population now vaccinated, we are keen to relax the current restrictions and move to Phase 4 of our reopening program on 20 November. This will bring an important return to normality for travel and tourism on the islands in time for the holidays."
Currently, under Phase 3 of its reopening plan, Cayman visitors need a pre-arrival PCR test and must quarantine on arrival - seven days for verified vaccinated visitors, 10 days for unverified vaccinated and 14 days for unvaccinated. At the end of the quarantine period, all visitors over five years old must take another PCR test.
Under the Phase 4 rules taking effect November 20, a PCR test will still be required to enter the country, but verified vaccinated visitors will no longer need to quarantine.
The Cayman Islands has taken a careful path with a controlled reopening strategy, with the gola of ensuring the safety, security, and peace of mind of both visitors and the local population.
"We are excited to share the many beautiful experiences of Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac - the stunning beaches, crystal clear turquoise waters, wonders of nature and expansive culinary choices," says Director of Tourism Rosa Harris.
"Our repeat visitors and new guests who are interested in visiting our dynamic island trio, may now enjoy our world class destination and warm hospitality. We await your arrival so you may have sweet dreams in Cayman," Harris added.
