Agents in Scotland can’t afford any further hold-ups with regards to the resumption of international travel, both the SPAA and Barrhead Travel have warned.

The Scottish government will provide £3.5 million in grants for outbound travel agents

The association, along with the country’s largest independent agency chain, on Thursday (8 July) blasted the Scottish government for failing to immediately align with the UK government’s decision to ease quarantine for fully vaccinated amber list arrivals, starting 19 July.


Barrhead president Jacqueline Dobson said she was "extremely disappointed" by the lack of a corresponding announcement by the Scottish government, warning it left Scottish agents and travellers "in limbo", while SPAA president Joanne Dooey said it was vital agents and travellers had clarity on whether Scotland would "swiftly" follow suit.
