The second drawback does affect the happy trippers to Benidorm and that is the Travel Insurance Industry..Already they have said they will not cover again for pandemics and virus emergencies like this, after the 14th March actually. That alone will dampen demand. They give the appearance of being latter day Highwaymen so if you fall ill abroad, they`ll do their best, again, to wriggle out of paying.

Time of course will tell
The insurers (or mine at least) will cover medical expenses but not cancellation or delay due to corona from the date it was declared a pandemic. That's why tui etc have issued a promise around fee free flexibility on bookings.
