Rabat - The government of Tunisia has decided that unvaccinated UK tourists are welcome, if they show a recent negative PCR test. Tunis announced the policy change on Friday as governments in popular tourist destinations race to cut health measures in order to attract new tourists.

Tunisia’s loosening of public health measures partly mirrors the decision taken by Morocco on May 18, allowing unvaccinated travelers to enter the country if they can produce proof of a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours of departure. Egypt and Algeria meanwhile continue to demand proof of vaccination, yet the international race to compete for tourists could soon change this.
