Laos, a dynamic country in south-east Asia, is preparing to welcome back the fully vaccinated travellers<\/strong> thanks to the reopening of its borders in 2022. By implementing a programme entitled Lao Travel Green Zone<\/strong> \"emblematic cities such as Vientiane<\/strong>, Vangvieng<\/strong> and Luang Prabang<\/strong> offer a safe environment for visitors. This initiative aims to promote responsible tourism while ensuring the health and safety of all.<\/p>\n\n Laos, a popular destination in South-East Asia, is preparing to reopen its doors to fully vaccinated travellers in 2022. Thanks to the \"Lao Travel Green Zone\" programme, cities such as Vientiane, Vangvieng and Luang Prabang will be the first to welcome tourists in complete safety. Entry requirements include a full vaccination schedule, an entry certificate and a negative PCR test, allowing adventurers to savour the cultural and natural riches of this fascinating country.<\/p>\n\n The reopening of Laos' borders follows a period of restrictions marked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Laotian Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism has put in place strict measures to ensure the safety of all. Initially, only areas designated as 'green' will be open, to minimise risks while offering visitors a unique experience.<\/p>\n\n To enter Laos, travellers must meet certain essential conditions. Firstly, they must present an entry certificate. Secondly, a valid vaccination certificate, dated at least 14 days before arrival, is required. This process ensures that only vaccinated individuals enter the country, thereby protecting the local population and helping to combat the pandemic. In addition, a negative PCR test result, carried out within 72 hours of boarding, is required.<\/p>\n\n Travellers will also be required to use an application to track their potential exposure to Covid-19 during their stay in Laos. This system enables the authorities to manage public health effectively and to intervene rapidly if cases of contamination occur. This proactive approach is essential to ensure the safety of all visitors and the local population.<\/p>\n\n On arrival, travellers will be taken to hotels approved by the LaoSafe programme, which ensures that establishments comply with health and hygiene standards. They will have to wait for the results of their PCR test, which will be available within 24 hours of arrival. In the event of a positive result, a three-day period of isolation will be imposed, during which appropriate care will be provided. If the isolation extends beyond three days, the costs incurred by travellers will be reimbursed, thereby enhancing the support provided by the Laotian government to visitors.<\/p>\n\n For those wishing to prepare for their trip, destination experts are on hand to answer any questions and provide assistance with the process of entering Laos. They can also help with the formalities required, such as applying for an e-visa, simplifying the travel experience for all future visitors.<\/p>\n\n Returning to Laos means discovering a country steeped in history, tradition and breathtaking scenery. Visitors can explore iconic towns, sample delicious cuisine and meet friendly locals. With these new measures, Laos is positioning itself as an attractive and safe destination for travellers looking for an exotic getaway.<\/p>\n\nA gradual and secure reopening<\/h3>\n\n
