I have no idea if this will happen or not, but looking at data in Europe, I can't see anywhere that will suddenly become available for unrestricted travel which is not already available - ie we still get just Canaries, Gibraltar, Greece, and Sweden. Everywhere else either has over 100 cases, or has quarantine for arrivals to/from England or requires proof of a recent negative test. Even Greece has a quaratine/testing requirement on quasi-random pax arriving by air
Can anybody else identify places that become available for unrestricted travel to/from England under this possible policy change ?
It would certainly open a lot of Winter sun destinations, many of which will throw their doors open for the tourism income, if they haven’t already. Places like the Dominican Republic (whose cases are now almost as low as the 20 threshold) and Mexico are already open more or less without restriction. Where did you hear about this, out of interest?
I’d be betting on Jamaica coming off the naughty list tomorrow.
