Covid and travel discussion

Hopefully below becomes a thing as well, where we have a standardised system in place that both the FCDO and DFT/Gov follow and adhere too.
Logic would suggest that if a country is 'red' on the traffic light system then the FCDO should also be advising against travel to that destination.
Seems pretty straightforward and as long as they align it won't be unnecessarily complicated for consumers and tour ops/airlines.

Red - advise against travel and tour ops cancel trips to that country.
Amber - ok to travel to but tour ops have to offer a free amendment for those unable/unwilling to isolate on return.
Green - crack on.

Unfortunately I think France might be off the list given Macrons utterly bonkers idea of reopening whilst still in the grip of a third wave.

If it’s an electioneering ploy it’s fucking outrageous.

Industry is fucked.
Government aren't interested.

Expect a conveyor belt of collapsing businesses for the rest of 2021 and beyond.

The hardest (and likely longest as the end is nowhere in sight for us) hit industry and a sector that employs hundreds of thousands of people and the Government do not give a single flying fuck (excuse the pun)
 
I’m surprised that Portugal will be opened up as Green given the fact they are allowing flights from Brazil again. All sounds like a shit load of hassle to me.
