The Scottish government’s move to follow England in ending quarantine for fully vaccinated travellers returning from amber list countries on 19 July has been welcomed by the travel trade.

SPAA president Joanne Dooey and Barrhead Travel's Jacqueline Dobson both welcomed the Scottish government's decision

Scotland’s first minister Nicola Sturgeon confirmed the move during an announcement on the country’s easing of Covid-19 restrictions on Tuesday (13 July).

Jacqueline Dobson, president of Barrhead Travel, said she was “really pleased” with the decision by the Scottish government.

“It is particularly encouraging to see this move in time for the last few weeks of the summer school holidays,” said Dobson.
