As the travel sector opens back up, it's more good news for tourists as another key destination is set to ease their restrictions.
The long-awaited move means that tourists will now see the removal of the requirement to show a negative PCR or antigen test before entering the country.
The new rules come into force tomorrow (January 22) and will only apply to those who are fully vaccinated.
This means that anyone who is not fully vaccinated must have an 'essential' reason for travelling.
Children under the age of 18 do not count and are exempt from this rule however so long as they are travelling with a fully vaccinated adult.
Passengers travelling by plane or a 'long-distance bus service' will still be required to fill out a Passenger Locator Form before travelling.
In addition to this, the requirement for travellers to take follow-up tests on days four and seven after arrival has also been scrapped, reports The Mirror.
Despite face coverings no longer being a legal requirement in England as of next week, they will sill have to wear them abroad in public indoor areas and on public transport. Proof of vaccination however may be needed in areas such as museums, restaurants and bars - although children under the age of 16 are exempt from these requirements.
Children under 12 are exempt from mask rules as well as individuals who are medically exempt.
If you have a holiday booked and are set to leave before Saturday (January 22), you must still show proof of a negative covid test.
In a statement, the country's Federal Council explained: "From Saturday, 22 January, persons who have been vaccinated or who have recovered from covid will no longer be required to present a negative PCR or rapid antigen test before entering Switzerland.
"Persons who are not vaccinated or who have not recovered from covid will still have to take the tests to enter the country."
