Ian Bell, RSM head of travel and tourism, said the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 and the French government’s decision to ban British visitors on the eve of the ski season came as "yet another blow for the travel industry", with the two factors likely to "acutely impact Christmas and ski travel".
"It’s unclear how specialist ski operators will be able to cope with yet another ski season hit with restrictions if measures continue into the New Year," said Bell.
