The most popular summer hotspots are Malta, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. The difference among them, is that the first two are now on the Government’s amber list. This means they will remove the 10-day quarantine period, becoming quarantine-free destination. On the other side, Portugal, Italy and Greece will still require an at home period for people returning from these locations.

That’s not all, we have another updating news for holiday makers. The Government is working on plans to allow quarantine-free travel for fully vaccinated Britons returning from amber locations.

This review by the Government seems to be the consequence of the pressures by the travel industry. On Wednesday this sector put pressures to reopen and provide financial support to the business. As we all well know, the pandemic gave no space for traveling. Indeed, it has been an hard time for the travel industry which now wants to redeem from the crisis.
