Brits will be encouraged to take "a great British holiday" this summer – as soon as it is safe to do so.

Seeking adventure

The government hopes to give domestic holidays the green light in early July, subject to its "plan to rebuild".


A spokesperson for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, which also has responsibility for tourism, told the Telegraph at the weekend: “As things stand, people are not permitted to travel to a second home or to stay overnight in a home that is not theirs.


"When it is safe to do so, we will be encouraging people to book a great British holiday.”
