Jersey has announced it will welcome visitors again next month when Covid travel restrictions are eased.
The largest of the Channel islands will open its border again on April 26 following months of coronavirus curbs.
Visitors will not need to complete the UK Government Travel Declaration Form for trips to the island and Jersey is not classed as a high-risk destination.
As holiday availability in the UK mainland fills up, Jersey offers the ideal destination for travellers looking for a safe, yet unique experience.
With over 30 different beaches, including St. Brelade’s Bay, rated as one of the best beaches in the UK in TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards, Jersey offers the perfect staycation for 2021.
Visitors will be able to take advantage of sun, sea and sand, as well as plenty of space to socially distance if required.
Amanda Burns, chief executive of Visit Jersey, said: "We can’t wait to welcome visitors once again to offer a place to relax and rebalance after a tumultuous year.
"As part of the Common Travel Area, travel to Jersey is hassle free, offering a perfect staycation solution for those looking for both space and sunshine.
"We are also re-introducing our Safer Travel Policy from April 26 to provide a safe environment which optimises the traveller experience.”
As part of the island’s preparations for keeping visitors and locals safe, whilst reducing the risk of Covid-19 transmission, the island will re-introduce the Safer Travel Policy, including the reinstatement of the red, amber, and green classifications for the UK and the other Crown Dependencies.
All arriving visitors will need to have a PCR test prior to arrival or will be required to complete a pre-departure registration form and will be tested on arrival.
