The Department for Transport said the lists will be made public in"early May".
Lib Dem MP Layla Moran, who chairs the APPG, said:"It is staggering that the government is even contemplating encouraging overseas holidays when airports are already struggling to keep the virus and new variants at bay. "Urgent measures are needed to better detect fake COVID test certificates, reduce overcrowding in arrival halls and separate those arriving from red and amber list countries.But Paul Charles, chief executive of travel consultancy The PC Agency, claimed the"best financial support the government can now offer the travel sector is to open up overseas travel as planned from 17 May".
He went on:"Not only can this be done safely with widespread testing, but it would also unlock much-needed revenues from business and leisure travellers keen to see family they haven't seen for a year. "Better digital technology would certainly enable more seamless travel through our borders and I'd urge the government to invest in this more quickly so as to avoid airport queues in future."
Keep the British people in the UK this summer. Reinvest in the local economy. Save importing covid from abroad. staysafestayintheUK
This is just a way for the government to make people put all the money back in to Britain. If my holiday gets cancelled for September to majorca my money will stay where it is to go abroad next year.
