Küprosel tehakse tõsiseid jõupingutusi, et riiki turismile taas avada ja turiste sinna juba alates juunist meelitada. Nagu juba kirjutatud, saab Eestist Küprosele reisida alates 20. juunist, kuid esialgu on selleks vajalik tervisetõend Covid-19 puudumise kohta, mis ei ole vanem kui 72 tundi (3 päeva). Nüüd on täpsustatud, et tervisetõendi puudumisel saab ennast testida ka Küprosele saabudes ja see läheb maksma orienteeruvalt 60 eurot. Tulemuse saab teada 24 tunni jooksul, sel ajal peab saabuja olema isolatsioonis enda valitud kohas.

Aga Küprosel on turistide ligitõmbamiseks käima pandud ka tõhus PR-kampaania. Nimelt katab Küprose riik koroonaviirusesse nakatumise puhul kõik Küprosel viibimisega seotud kulud – majutuse, toidu, joogi ja ravimisega seotud kulud. Nakatunud reisija peab ise hoolitsema vaid lennupiletite eest. Küprose turismiedendamise dokumendi (pdf) leiab Visitcyprus.com lehelt.

Mõned reisjatele olulised väljavõtted inglise keeles:

The Cyprus government is committed to taking care of all travelers who test positive during their stay, as well as their families and close contacts. The government will cover the cost of lodging, food, drink, and medication, in all cases mentioned above; the traveler will only need to bear the cost of their airport transfer and repatriation flight, in collaboration with their agent and/or airline.

For travelers from Category B (sinna hulka kuulub ka Eesti), whose country is unable to make PCR testing widely available to the public, compulsory testing will be required upon arrival at Cyprus airports. The cost of testing is borne by the traveler, and the expected cost is estimated at 60 Euros per person (this may eventually drop as technology advances are made and international availability of testing kits increases). Test results will be available up to 24 hours later, so in the meantime travelers will be asked to self-isolate at their booked accommodation.

The declaration will include the following points: a) a questionnaire requesting information on a person’s travels in the 14 days prior to visiting Cyprus b) confirmation that a person has not traveled to/from or lived in a country other than those included in Category A and B, in the 14 days prior to travel.

Tallinnast saab Küprosele lennata alates 5. juulist pühapäeviti väljuvate Ryanairi otselendudega. Võimalik, et juulis ei nõuta ka tervisetõendit või testimist, kuid hetkel on see vaid oletus.

Küprosele reisimisel ei pea Eestisse naastes karantiinis olema.
