Under the new regulations anyone can now visit the islands, whether vaccinated or not. Meanwhile, there is no need to wear a mask, whether outdoors or inside.

Kenneth Bryan, Minister for Tourism and Transport for the Cayman Islands, made the official announcement. He said the new regulations are in keeping with the current global environment and he is in full support of, and welcomes, the removal of travel restrictions from August 24. Bryan added:

[This] is a great day in Cayman – and we thank every traveler, partner, and member of our community for ensuring our Government’s Phased Reopening Plan remains a success. At last, we can proudly say the Cayman Islands is open to all!

The good news comes as Grand Cayman is seeing more flight capacity to the destination. In fact, there are more flights than before the pandemic began in 2019. Meanwhile, the islands are also set for a huge boost in visitors in a few months. This comes with the launch of Cayman Airways’ first-ever flights from Los Angeles.

Rosa Harris, the Director of Tourism for the Cayman Islands, said with each new phase of reopening they have seen an increase in visitor arrivals to the destination. In fact, she said they have recently celebrated a major tourism recovery milestone after they increased airlift capacity.

We are ready to open our doors to everyone who wishes to visit us and believe that the future of Cayman tourism is strong.   

Why visit the Cayman Islands?

With the Cayman Islands dropping restrictions, this means visitors can enjoy a wonderfully diverse destination in Grand Cayman. The island is renowned as one of the culinary capitals of the Caribbean.

Meanwhile, it also offers one of the most idyllic beaches in the world. Moreover, Grand Cayman also features two of the most beautiful golf courses in the Caribbean. One of these is Greg Norman’s nine-hole course at the Ritz-Carlton on Grand Cayman, with its perfect greens and stunning surrounding scenery.

One of the best places to be in Grand Cayman is Camana Bay, a mixed-use community which acts as the Cayman Islands official town square. Here are many shops selling first-class goods, a selection of restaurants, a cinema and plenty of cultural activities to enjoy.
