Vaccination campaigns are taking off around the world. Will we only be able to see the world with a Corona vaccination? Initial signals point in a different direction.
Will the Covid 19 vaccination soon catapult us back to normality, or is it not as harmless as people assume? Will we only be able to travel with proof of vaccination in the future? Many questions are currently being hotly debated on the subject of vaccination. Not everyone is happy about the fact that there could even be a vaccination obligation for certain life situations. But will this vaccination obligation really come?
Now the Seychelles published their latest entry regulations and give a preview of what will probably be valid from mid-March. It shows that compulsory vaccination is not a priority.
As one of a few vacation destinations, the Seychelles were for a long time easy to travel to. From November, stricter entry regulations finally followed, which were gradually tightened and still apply. Thus, Austrian tourists must currently enter a ten-day quarantine in a certified hotel.
But now a new development is emerging. The Seychelles published together with the latest entry regulations, which is expected to apply from mid-March: The majority of the adult population in Seychelles is expected to be vaccinated through by mid-March, and this will allow the country to be open to all visitors, vaccinated or not.
This gives Seychelles an unexpected direction in tourism for many. So far, the travel industry has said from several quarters that mandatory vaccination is probably inevitable in the future. For Christian Laesser, tourism professor at the University of St. Gallen, however, this comes as no surprise: “As long as we don’t know whether a vaccination protects against transmission to others, even a mandatory vaccination is of no use.” It is therefore more important to know whether one’s own population has been vaccinated and is thus protected.
“As soon as a population is almost fully vaccinated, it can open itself more carefree to tourism from outside,” Laesser explained recently. But without vaccinating its own population, hardly any country would welcome tourists without restrictions. It remains to be seen which direction other tourism destinations will take with regard to the issue of mandatory vaccination.
