Here’s what Brits need to know about visiting the Caribbean!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Let’s be honest. We all miss it. The sun-splashed days, the sound of waves crashing by the shore, wind combing through your hair, waving palm trees and just about everything else that makes the Caribbean a siren call to travellers from across the world! When you think of it, the Caribbean somehow fuels your wanderlust even more than it did before.

As we all know, after what feels like an eternity, the worst seems to have passed (kind of). After months of severe quarantine, some Caribbean islands are once again looking towards the idea of welcoming travellers with arms wide open (well, that might be a stretch given how everyone’s scared of human contact, but you get the idea.)

Here’s the latest island to open its doors to Brits: Barbados!

Did you know? Up to 40% of the Caribbean’s tourism came from UK’s population.

Understandably acclaimed for its pristine beaches, Barbados opened its borders on July 12, 2020. Commercial flights are scheduled to resume from the following dates.

  • July 12 – Air Canada (Thursdays and Sundays)
  • July 18 – British Airways
  • August 1 – Virgin Atlantic
  • August 5 – American Airlines

Now, for those of you asking why Barbados? Here’s what you should know.

In addition to the heavily-covered beaches of the island, you’ll also find yourself exploring a UNESCO World Heritage-listed capital. It’s a place where laughter-filled street parties and (a lot of) rum take hold of the reigns after sundown, and it’s a place that somehow manages to captivate & make you forget entertaining old wounds (ugh, that’s dark).

Plus, for anyone apprehensive about visiting in July or the upcoming months because the traditionally suggested months to visit end with mid-April; just know that Barbados has incredibly consistent weather. Hurricanes are a no show & rainfall lasts barely long enough for it to even count as rain, locals call it “liquid sunshine.” So, don’t shelve the thought of visiting Barbados just yet. You could visit almost anytime you want (just don’t forget the essentials A.K.A your face masks!)

Did you know? Barbados has a 1% crime rate! Locals are admired for being some of the most helpful people you will ever meet.

Barbados has categorised all arriving tourists into two different groups based on the country of their departure, high-risk and low-risk.

High-risk countries are classified as those with more than 10,000 new cases in the last seven days and are in the ‘community transmission’ category.

Low-risk countries are defined as countries with less than 100 new cases in the seven days that lead up to the traveller’s departure date, and not in the ‘community transmission’ category.

Travellers from high-risk countries will be monitored regularly and may be approached for a second COVID-19 PCR test at day 7. If this is not done, then the person may be monitored for 14 days. However, if the second test is negative, there will be no monitoring involved. Meanwhile, travellers from moderate risk countries will be evaluated for 7 days.

Some other things to keep in mind: regardless of the country they are departing from, all travellers must undergo a health assessment and be in perfect health to be allowed entry into the island. Anybody who declines being tested or presents a negative test result will not be permitted to enter Barbados. Travellers who are checked at the airport will be offered a choice, they could either await their results at a government accommodation or a designated hotel of their choice at their own expense, keeping in mind that test results will be available within 24 hours.

Did you know? People pronounce “Caribbean” differently — and even the pros don’t agree on what the correct pronunciation is!

Given the extensive protocols being erected to secure everyone’s safety, it is no doubt that the government is not taking chances with the pandemic’s threat. However, does this mean Brits can’t take a holiday to Barbados? No, of course not. There’s absolutely no need to look away from the idea of a Caribbean holiday!
