Tourism Ireland has welcomed a decision by the Irish government and Northern Ireland executive about the re-opening of travel to the island of Ireland.
Ireland has adopted the European Union Covid-19 digital certificate, which will enable more seamless travel among member states.
The tourism body said this was good news for everyone in the tourism and hospitality industry.
Ireland will begin the scheme on July 19th, meaning that travellers from EU member states bearing the pass – which attests that the holder has either been vaccinated, has had a negative test for Covid-19 or has had the virus – will then be able to visit Ireland without the need for a test or quarantining.
Tourism Ireland also welcomed the commitment to extend the Covid-19 certificate to vaccinated visitors from other countries – including Great Britain and North America.
