Abta chief executive Mark Tanzer has called for Foreign Office (FCDO) advice to amber list countries to take into account the reducing risk of Covid-19 to UK visitors in many destinations.

The trade has been concerned about how Foreign Office travel advice can differ from the traffic light system

Tanzer has already welcomed the government’s plans to end the requirement for fully vaccinated people travelling back from amber countries to quarantine for 10 days from 19 July.

But many in the industry continue to be worried about differences between how countries are classified under the traffic light system and FCDO travel advice for destinations, which can stop operators from sending holidaymakers to these locations.
