Mark Swords, managing director of Swords Travel in Wimbledon, was not going to let the new entry requirement for a Covid-19 test deter him from travelling to one of his favourite places – he shares his experiences with TTG 

Mark Swords arrives in Cyprus

“I’ve been travelling to Cyprus since I worked here as a holiday rep for Thomas Cook 15 years ago and the thought of not coming this year was not an option for me; if anything I need it more this year than any other.” 

“We booked our flights towards the end of June not knowing what would happen but thinking that in the worst case scenario, we wouldn’t be able to travel and we’d get our money back. Throughout the whole month of July we were on tenterhooks.”
