The previous ban imposed by the Maldives on visitors from seven nations in Southern Africa was lifted on 29th December last year. The travel restriction was initially put in place in November last year after the Omicron coronavirus variant was detected in that part of the African region; with its lifting, visitors from South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Eswatini can again enjoy holidays here.
It will be hoped that the lifting of the travel ban will also help to increase arrivals this year as the country looks to continue its remarkable recovery; 2022 is being celebrated as the “Golden Year of Tourism” marking the 50th anniversary of the local tourism industry. Visitors can look forward to safe accommodation here too at private island resorts like Hard Rock Hotel Maldives that have adopted stringent health and hygiene protocols. Those staying at such properties can make use of an Emboodhoo Lagoon area guide to experience the best of this destination once more.
