Travel leaders in Scotland have welcomed the country’s decision to align with the UK government’s plans to relax quarantine rules for fully vaccinated EU and US arrivals from Monday (2 August).

Remember these? Covid could yet still rear its head over the winter

Joanne Dooey, president of The Scottish Passenger Agents’ Association (SPAA), described the country’s decision to adopt the same plans as the UK government as "gratifying".

But, she said it was also "important to remember that traveller confidence is at an all-time low", following changes to international travel and "u-turns" being made within the "space of days".

"We hope that, because this suite of changes is for so many territories, these new regulations may stay in place long enough to build some confidence in both inbound and outbound travellers," she added.
