The Advantage Travel Partnership has said the UK government’s "yo-yo" decision-making is continuing to cause "significant disruption" to an "already fragile economic sector".

‘Behind every travel businesses there are real people,’ said Lo Bue-Said

On Tuesday (14 December), health secretary Sajid Javid announced all 11 countries on the UK’s red list would be removed at 4am Wednesday (15 December) – just three weeks after they were added to the category.

Advantage chief executive Julia Lo Bue-Said said the impact these changes have on consumer confidence, combined with the "stringent" testing measures that are in place, must be taken into consideration.
