CNMI starts tourism 'travel bubble' with South Korea
The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands launched a “travel bubble” Thursday for vaccinated tourists from South Korea, according to the Marianas Visitors Authority, which said it is South Korea’s first such travel agreement.
“Those who wish to travel between the two countries under the travel bubble agreement must complete vaccination against COVID 19 at least 14 days ahead of departure with vaccines approved and provided by their respective governments,” according to the Marianas Visitors Authority.
Visitors to the CNMI must take a COVID-19 test three days before returning to Korea.
Guam, which is a competing tourist destination, will ease travel quarantine requirements starting July 4, allowing visitors to skip quarantine if they test negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours of arriving here. Fully vaccinated travelers already are exempt from quarantine.
