Most people are incredibly unadventurous when it comes to holidays and exploring their own country. Same resort, same place, whether Portugal or Blackpool or Ilfracombe or Blakeney, every year.

And that's fine, but they're missing out on untold wonders around the coast and inland. Ramsgate, Ruthin and Rothesay to pick 3 at random.

And you CAN get family rooms around the country for £40 a night in this country if you're not quite so fussy about location.

While walking in the Dales the year after the Tour de France in those parts, I met a couple from Gloucester who professed it was their first visit even tho' they were middle aged. They had been inspired by tv pics of the Tour. I asked if it lived up to there expectations. They said "Well, we have been walking round open mouthed; we didnt know such a place existed."

I’m pretty sure we will look much better than a lot of other countries this summer but EU will gradually get there as supply increases. May 17th is the date set for international travel in our roadmap. But that will not be a free for all and will depend on vaccination status etc and also the Covid state of the individual countries. Travel corridors I’m sure will make a reappearance. No reason to suggest with appropriate caution this can’t be done safely. Nothing is risk free.

May 17th for international travel is most definitely not in the UK roadmap.
There is no mention of it, not a word, largely because no decision is being made until after a committee report on April 12th.

It is mentioned that the earliest international travel could be allowed is 17th May. The travel task force will report back on how that could look on 12th April.

International travel: 17 May​

The prime minister signalled that recreational international travel can restart from 17 May at the earliest.
Leisure travel both domestically and internationally has been banned since the start of January. Travel is currently allowed for a tight set of circumstances, including business and for compassionate reasons, and the government has repeatedly warned people that holidays are illegal.
The tentative reopening date follows weeks of speculation from the industry as to when international travel might be allowed again.

Or how about it being mentioned as 17th May in here?

The scant disregard and flippant attitude of some people who dismiss the millions employed in this country and abroad in the tourism industry is sickening.

it’s ok on that high horse all high and mighty saying people should not be having holidays but there are people who’s only income (and who havent received any financial support) and whose lives depend on tourism being allowed to get started again.

Been like that from day one mostly from those who are financially secure and no longer work. At the end of the day everyone has their own interests closest to their hearts, but the way some people have given others abuse because they want their livelihoods to not be affected has shown the worst side of people.
