Hello everyone,


I hope you are all safe and feeling more positive with the latest lifting of some restrictions.

 
Although the eagerly awaited traffic light update for travel to and from the UK was perhaps a little anti-climactic, there is a more optimistic outlook for summer holidays on the horizon.


The picture will change as time progresses and I will of course be keeping up to date with the very latest information and guidance for those wishing to travel sooner rather than later. After the latest announcement, my industry associates at Travel Gossip have produced a very helpful graphic.

Portugal would currently appear to offer the best potential short-term options though travellers will still need a negative PCR test 72 hours before flying to gain entry. We expect further additions to the green list with the next announcements.

 

Many are still preferring to look a little further ahead with the security of flexible booking conditions plus low and refundable deposits and I have rounded up some of the destinations that have been most requested recently – clue: one is where I am pictured above – as well as details of my own plans over the months ahead.

 

Bookings in general for 2022 remain busy so if you are interested in getting away, please get in touch.


Wishing you all a super summer ahead with hopefully some sunshine to come soon!

 

Thank you for your support as always,
