Travel Network Group chief Gary Lewis said the decision to move the Balearic Islands from the green watchlist to the amber list highlighted the reality for the travel industry that summer would be "on a much smaller scale" compared with pre-Covid years, despite concessions that – technically – allow travel to a wide range of potential destinations.
"Many holidaymakers have opted for UK breaks for summer 2021 because of a lack of confidence in the government’s erratic approach to travel earlier in the year," said Lewis.
