The Islands of Tahiti continues to strengthen its commitment toward the protection of tourists and its local population through the introduction of its "Safety Ambassador Program." This program reinforces the health measures in place for the tourism industry of the islands, besides promoting the entry and stay protocols, which assure travelers they can safely choose The Islands of Tahiti for their next trip.
As part of the program tourism industry of The Islands of Tahiti will commit to several conditions while continuing to respect the current health measures in place. The tourism professionals who have joined the new program have pledged to do everything possible to ensure staff in contact with visitors are vaccinated according to local regulation; require cruise passengers to be vaccinated and tested before boarding; allow staff to isolate if COVID-19 symptoms occur; have COVID-19 test kits readily available for customers and staff; practice social distancing; wear a mask in close public spaces; reinforce sanitization protocols and provide sanitization products for sale in shops of tourist accommodations. The Safety Ambassador Program is designed to minimize COVID-19 risks and enhance confidence for safe travel in The Islands of Tahiti.
According to Tahiti Tourisme, the destination has been previously recognized for its efforts in the implementation of health security measures.
Additionally, a rigorous entry protocol has been established in The Islands of Tahiti to protect the local population and visitors. Only tourism travelers who have been vaccinated are admitted. All travelers must complete an online registration form which allows local authorities to trace visitors as required to contain spread; all travelers must take a COVID-19 test and obtain a negative result before boarding their international flight; and travelers must undergo a test upon arrival. More recently, a law requiring vaccination was adopted in The Islands of Tahiti in August 2021, targeting various economic sectors, and specifically requiring any person carrying out a tourist activity in physical contact with customers to be vaccinated.
