Travel restrictions ended effective August 1
Traveling to the French Caribbean island of St Barth has just got easier with the removal of COVID-19 travel restrictions.
This means travelers no longer need to show proof of vaccination or testing in order to enter the island, effective August 1, 2022. As such, traveling to St Barth is just like it was before the pandemic.
Director of the island’s Remy de Haenen St Barth Airport, Fabrice Danet, confirmed the move, which comes as France’s national government has officially removed its COVID-related State of Health Emergency.
“For St Barth, this means that all the measures related to the health pass applied so far are now lifted,” Danet said in a statement.
LIFTING OF RESTRICTIONS TIMELY
The removal of the pandemic restrictions is a major boost for St Barth, which has been seeing sizzling tourism numbers for much of the pandemic era.
The lifting of the restrictions is timely as St Barth is ramping up for what should be a busy shoulder and winter season, kicking off as it does each year with the Caribbean Rum Awards in the first week of November.
This will be followed by the popular Gourmet Festival the following week, part of St Barth’s celebrated Gourmet Month.
