The government’s move to allow fully vaccinated travellers from the EU and US to visit England without having to quarantine has been welcomed as a “fantastic step forward” by trade body UKinbound.

UKinbound is continuing to campaign for more financial support from government for the sector

Transport secretary Grant Shapps confirmed the widely expected loosening of rules for fully jabbed inbound passengers on Wednesday (28 July) through social media platform Twitter.

Joss Croft, chief executive of UKinbound, said: “Today’s announcement that quarantine will be removed for vaccinated US and EU visitors to England is a fantastic step forward that will allow the £28 billion inbound tourism sector, which supports over 500,000 jobs across the UK, to finally restart.
