Tourists need to have “pre-booked accommodation” preferably through accredited tour operators, and declare their itinerary.

Furthermore, visitors must undergo “mandatory triage and PCR testing” before they can go around the city. However, testing will be shouldered by the tourists.

In fact, the local government says tourists’ movement will be closely monitored by tour operators and/or hotel management. In the said post, they also shared guidelines for tour operations and hotels, as well as tourism managers.
