HAMILTON — Bermuda’s new eased COVID-19 protocols aim to make it easier than ever for travellers to visit the island.

Starting March 7, 2022, all visitors will be required to show proof of current vaccination status and a negative COVID-19 test result (both antigen or PCR tests are allowed) within two days of arriving in Bermuda.

Travellers will need to complete the Travellers Authorization form with this information 24 – 48 hours prior to arrival.

Up-to-date vaccination status is defined as having received a second dose within six months, or three doses of the vaccine.

No further testing will be required upon arrival, says the Bermuda Tourism Authority.

And if the country of origin requires a test to return, Bermuda will automatically schedule and provide return testing to travellers.

“We welcome visitors from around the world with travel guidelines that ensure their safety as well as their convenience, and our updated protocols will make visiting Bermuda even easier,” says Charles H. Jeffers II, Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA) CEO. “Our hotels and local businesses are open with the Bermudian hospitality for which we are known. There’s never been a better time to visit.”

Bermuda’s Pink Sale, launched at the start of 2022, offers savings worth up to 50% off hotel accommodations. Originally scheduled to wrap up Feb. 6, the Pink Sale has been extended to Feb. 20, for travel through December, says the Bermuda Tourism Authority’s Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Douglas Trueblood.

“Due to the overwhelming response we have seen to our recent Pink Sale promotion, we are extending this special offer for savings of up to 50% if booked before February 20. People are ready to travel, and Bermuda is eager to welcome them back,” he said.
