“After two successful vaccination campaigns, the vast majority of our island’s citizens are now vaccinated, and our efficient Covid-19 testing center offers swift service for everyone,” Nils Dufau, president of the Tourism Committee has said. Happy news indeed, especially for those dreaming of those breathtaking beaches!
