The UK’s largest tour operator Tui has called for authorities in Cyprus to provide free or reduced-cost Covid-19 tests to encourage tourists to visit this summer.

Operators have pledged to return to Cyprus "as soon as possible" this summer

Helen Caron, Tui Group’s purchasing director, said holidaymakers would not be “able to bear the cost” of having to take multiple Covid tests to go on holiday.

UK holidaymakers could face having to take at least two tests on their way to their destination, as well as another two tests when they return home, even for countries classified as “green” under the UK government’s new traffic light system.
