The UK’s travel and tourism industry "cannot afford a stop-start recovery", according to trade body UKinbound.

UKinbound: 'Travel cannot afford 'stop-start' recovery'

UKinbound on Tuesday (30 March) moved to reiterate its three key demands ahead of an announcement on international travel next month.


It is seeking a restart, based on a risk framework, that removes quarantine and relies instead on digital entry documentation, such as digital test or vaccine certification and paperless passenger locator forms.


Additionally, UKinbound is seeking a bilateral travel agreement with the US to re-energise travel from the UK’s most valuable inbound market.


It also wants a four-nation approach to the lifting of the UK’s current inbound travel restrictions to allow visitors to travel freely around the union.
