The tour operator’s latest financial results showed the UK was lagging behind other key European source markets, particularly Germany, for summer 2021 holidays.

But Joussen did not think this would mark a permanent reduction in capacity from the UK. He blamed the lack of “predictability” created by the UK government’s traffic light system and high cost of PCR tests for the sluggish British market this summer.
