Thursday’s update to the government’s traffic light regime (26 August) drew a muted response from the industry with few significant changes to how destinations are categorised; Canada, Switzerland and Denmark were among seven countries to go green, with Thailand and Montenegro going red.
While seven countries moved from amber to green, and two from amber to red, no destinations moved from green to amber or from red to amber, dashing hopes Turkey would be restored to the amber list. The Maldives also remain on the red list.
