The Advantage Travel Partnership has said the UK government’s decision to remove Day 2 Covid-19 tests for fully vaccinated arrivals will "stimulate" the travel industry "even further".

Advantage chief Julia Lo Bue-Said said there would be operational benefits for the trade

Chief executive Julia Lo Bue-Said welcomed the move and described the UK’s travel testing regime as the "bane of the industry".

"The step announced today to scrap all remaining tests for vaccinated travellers on arrival into the UK is without a doubt going to stimulate the industry even further including inbound and business travel," she added.

"Consumer confidence is rising incrementally with every relaxation of the rules. Tests have been the bane of the industry adding confusion, added stress and, of course, additional cost for travellers."
