"This popular destination in Madagascar, again accessible to tourism, will gradually meet the demand for travel. », points out Marie Joseph Malé, Chairman and CEO of Air Austral.

Safety measures against coronavirus

It is after a PCR test carried out as soon as the plane descends and a 48-hour confinement in their hotel that passengers will be able to enjoy their holidays on this paradise island and its archipelago.

This recovery is still far from a return to normal.

"We had terrible months like all our colleagues during the closure of the border. This month with the reopening of international flights, we hope, but hope is even less because with all the measures imposed, which is normal, tourists are still worried. They are hesitant to make the decision to come this year. We've got a few reservations., but we can't say that there are a lot of tourists coming. narindraniaina says, manager of the Hotel Au Sable Blanc.
