The government’s system for booking a hotel for the new UK hotel quarantine scheme had to be taken offline shortly after being launched.

The inbound industry is appealing to the government to provide emergency funding after suffering a wave of cancellations

The booking platform had to be taken down temporarily for maintenance “to correct a minor technical error”, according to reports.

The Department of Health said rooms were available "and travellers will be able to book through the site imminently".

"Due to a minor technical issue, the link to the booking portal in this guidance will not be available until later today," said the government on its website.
