Travel agents report a rise in bookings after the amber list is scrapped and testing rules are eased.

As part of the changes announced by Mr Shapps, eight countries - Turkey, Pakistan, the Maldives, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Oman, Bangladesh and Kenya - were removed from the red list.Mr Shapps also announced that from October travellers returning to England will no longer have to take a PCR test two days after arrival. Instead, they can take the quicker and cheaper lateral flow tests.

Andrew Flintham, managing director of holiday company TUI UK, said he had already seen "an uptick in bookings for Turkey in October" and expected a boost in customer confidence with the new rules. The Scottish government said it would also drop the traffic light system but would not follow England in removing the pre-departure test requirement for the fully vaccinated returning from non-red list countries

We ain’t travelling for at least another year. Money in bank, after 2 cancelled last year with TUI (due to COVID). But, the times not right. No matter how much we both miss the Caribbean. We ain’t that stupid, irresponsible and selfish.

Yet another 'England only' story under a UK banner What about the other Nations of the UK, BBC? Scotland? Wales?

Holiday? Who can afford a holiday?

What about those who have been double vaccinated in other countries? I am double vaccinated with Astra zenica in the UAE . Should I now have the booster or start again with two jabs?

Nope disagree.

You can still get covid after being fully vaccinated..... what a load of BOLLOCKS

Hope folks remember most other countries still exercise precautions such as masks, social distancing and vaccine passports. Wouldn’t do to export the UK covid trend elsewhere
