A group of tourists prepares to take COVID-19 tests at Taoyuan International Airport on Thursday, the first day of the new Palau-Taiwan Travel Corridor.
On Thursday, Palau and Taiwan launched what is being touted as Asia s first travel bubble, with an inaugural flight from Taipei landing at Palau International Airport just after 7:30 p.m. local time.
Palau has recorded zero cases of coronavirus infection, and Taiwan has kept the virus largely in check since the start of the pandemic.
The scene at Palau s airport was full of excitement, says Palau-based freelance journalist Bernadette Carreon. Nearly 100 disembarking tourists were greeted by traditional Palauan dancers in grass skirts wearing cloth masks. Palau s President Surangel Whipps Jr. and first lady Valerie Whipps were also aboard the flight.
