Where to Get Tested (Quickly) for Caribbean Travel

If you are planning a trip to the Caribbean, you’ll need a negative COVID-19 before you go, with different destinations requiring different windows.

More importantly, you’ll need results within a very tight window.

And while each destination has a clear set of pre-testing requirements, it’s not always clear where to actually get tested — and do so quickly.

That’s why Aruba-based Bats Media and Consulting has created a new portal called Rapid Test Travel, which tells visitors where they can find rapid test results in each U.S. state.

The searchable directory includes everything from special labs to drugstore chains like Walgreens and CVS.

All of the listed locations perform rapid test, and some can even perform 24-hour tests.

“A lot [of people] chose not to book to Aruba because they could not find the location [for rapid testing]. We wanted to make it easier for them and increase tourism on the island,” said Julien de Bats, the company’s Director. “Anything we can to help tourists to book. We are all about giving tourists the most user-friendly experience.”
