Right.  That would be a nafka mina between the reasonings of the
Chacham Tzvi and the SA Harav.  According to the former, this person
should continue to keep one day, but according to the latter since he
is now in Chu"L he keeps two days.   L people who follow this psak,
and who are in EY for yomtov, need to be careful not to go down towards
Elat on the first day of Chol Hamoed, since once they leave the borders
of EY it becomes yomtov.
