Timothy Davis, Co-Founder and CEO of Butter, commented:
“You needn’t head to the seaside this summer to catch a Punch and Judy show as the government are doing their utmost to deliver something far more laughable on a national scale.
Their farcical attempts to stabilise a flat-lining tourism sector have ironically led to a much greater degree of uncertainty and hesitation amongst UK holidaymakers. This latest u-turn will no doubt be another nail in the coffin for foreign travel this summer as the nation decides to stick with a domestic holiday rather than run the traffic light holiday gauntlet.”
hoo Co-founder, Adrian Murdock, commented:
“The process of travelling abroad has become a minefield of COVID protocols, testing requirements and additional costs that the average holidaymaker simply can’t stomach, with many having already endured a year of cancellations and long waits for refunds in 2020.
While the promise of a quarantine-free holiday for those to have received both of their jabs may bring some reassurance, it’s unlikely to bring about the significant boost required to revive the sector.”
