KOROR (Island Times/Pacnews) — The Taiwan-Palau travel bubble will still proceed despite Palau having acquired its first cases of Covid-19, Palau President Surangel Whipps Jr. said.
Because these cases were travel-related and not locally transmitted, Taiwan has agreed to continue the travel bubble, he added.
Tourists from Taiwan who travel under the Taiwan/Palau travel bubble program are mostly unvaccinated tourists that take a PCR test at Taiwan airport, three hours before boarding a plane to Palau. They will be able to enjoy all sites and activities tourists normally do with certain conditions, such as going only to places that are pandemic certified.
Recently, they were able to get Coivid-19 vaccines when they arrived here. These vaccines were about to expire and could not be utilized otherwise.
The Taiwan tourists joining this travel bubble are given a $50 cash voucher to use when they get to Palau and will only pay $50 for vaccination service while the vaccine itself is free
