Caravan parks and camp sites in Northern Ireland can reopen from today.
Economy Minister Diane Dodds said it was good news for tourism.
"The official reopening of caravan parks, camping sites and self-catering tourist accommodation is the first step on the road to recovery for the industry.
"I also hope it marks the beginning of returning to normality where we can all begin to enjoy again the excellent products which our tourism and hospitality sector has to offer."
The industry has introduced new Covid-19 safety measures including hand sanitising stations, social distancing markers and Perspex screens in reception areas.
The minister added: "The application of social distancing and hygiene practices are vital.
"We must ensure the transmission of the virus is minimised and we need to reassure customers, employees and visitors our tourism and hospitality establishments are as Covid-19 safe as possible."
