Joss Croft, chief executive of UKinbound, said nobody was going to travel to the UK for a holiday until the UK set a date for the reopening of the country to international visitors.
Croft told TTG that one of the biggest barriers was the delay in the UK agreeing reciprocal arrangements with the EU and US over acceptable forms of vaccine certification for travellers.
To be able to restart, the inbound industry needs the lifting of UK quarantine for fully vaccinated visitors from amber list countries. The new exemption from quarantine for amber arrivals currently only applies to UK residents who have been fully jabbed.
