Tourism bodies have urged Stormont to rethink guidance on visitors arriving from the Common Travel Area (CTA).
People visiting friends and family in Northern Ireland from the UK, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands or Isle of Man will be exempt from a requirement to self-isolate from 24 May.
New guidance states those exempt from self-isolation must take Covid-19 tests before departure and on later dates.
The Northern Ireland Tourism Alliance described this as unmanageable .

Festival organisers have urged the NI Executive to provide reopening dates for the return of live music events.
A pilot concert in Liverpool last weekend saw 6,000 closely-packed music fans enjoy the event without masks or social distancing.
Open House festival director Kieran Gilmore said the uncertainty around reopening was deeply frustrating . The music and events industry is being completely ignored by our executive, he added.
