Italy Opens Up for International Travelers; on Its Way to Revive Tourism

Italy is slowly opening up to travelers from some select countries, and there is hope that one of the world’s most loved country for travelers might soon see a revival. Tourism is one of the main revenue sectors for Italy; pre-COVID, tourism brought in 13 per cent of Italy’s GDP.

The nation has formally reopened its borders to international travelers and has allowed restriction-free travel for visitors from some countries.

Italy opened up for travelers from EU member states, Israel and the UK. Travelers from these countries will need to provide COVID-19 negative certificates, vaccination certificate or proof of their recovery from COVID-19 in the past six months.

Apart from the countries that are allowed restriction-free travel to Italy, visitors from other nations need to follow quarantine rules and abide by the other related conditions as well.
