One Happy Island Offers Warm Caribbean Beaches

The Caribbean island of Aruba recently announced it is very happy to be welcoming visitors to our One Happy Island once again. Effective March 19, 2022, all travelers will no longer be required to present a COVID-19 negative test result or proof of vaccination upon arrival.

All travelers will still be required to complete Aruba’s Embarkation/Disembarkation Card before arrival, which is the country’s digitized customs and immigration process.

Aruba Visitors Insurance is still required for all visitors.

'​​It is very important that local service providers put in maximum effort to provide a safe environment for their guests and staff,' says the government's website. 

'The Aruba Health & Happiness Code seal is there to assure you that the certified service providers meet the government’s requirements for safety and cleanliness.'

Aruba is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands physically located in the Caribbean Sea, near Venezuelan.

According to UNWTO data, Aruba registered around 1.9 million foreign visitor arrivals in 2019, pre-COVID-19 pandemic. 

More than 40% of these arrivals corresponded to same-day visitors traveling by cruise ship.

The U.S. CDC recently issued Travel Health Notices to alert Aruba visitors of their potential COVID-19 health risks.
