Laos will drop Covid-19 entry restrictions for fully vaccinated tourists from Monday after the country reported falling coronavirus cases and deaths, senior officials said.
The small Southeast Asian nation saw an 80 per cent downturn in international traveller numbers in 2020 — 4.7 million foreign tourists visited the previous year.
From January travellers had been required to complete seven days of quarantine, present a negative Covid-19 test, and were limited to travelling within certain areas with officially sanctioned tour groups.
Deputy Minister and Deputy Head of the Prime Minister’s Office Thipphakone Chanthavongsa said on Saturday that a task force’s recommendations that “measures for entering Laos PDR and relaxation for locals” had been approved.
“The Government sees it is time to develop the economy,” she said.
The relaxed measures will see international checkpoints reopened for Laotian citizens and foreigners, provided they are fully vaccinated.
