The US Pacific territory of Guam will offer visitors a Covid-19 vaccination with their tropical holiday, in a bid to restart its struggling tourism industry, AP reports.

Dubbed 'Air V&V' — vacation and vaccination — the programme is primarily aimed at US expatriates in the Asia-Pacific region, although other nationalities can participate.

Guam has limited Covid-19 infections and a high vaccination rate among the local population thanks to one of the most effective roll-outs in the region.

“This programme captures a unique demographic of travellers around the world that are tired of waiting to get vaccinated in this pandemic,” said Visitors Bureau president Carl Gutierrez.
