As the Sunday People put it in its headline today, “Free by Summer.”

Vaccinations seem to be stimulating confidence about travelling again.

If travel restrictions are removed for Easter it might be hard not to bump into an escaping Brit wherever you go in the world!

Spain has placed the UK on its list of risk countries meaning that all travellers from the UK have to provide a negative test on arrival.

It looks like travellers can’t win at the moment.

Poland and Turkey are now off-limits. But Scottish residents won’t have to quarantine on return from the Azores and Madeira

The good is that UK tourists will no longer need to quarantine after holidaying in Portugal.

The big news of the week, as if I need to tell you, is that as of 4am tomorrow, you will need to go into a 14-day quarantine on returning from France, Malta and the Netherlands and the Turks & Caicos Islands.

Both Spain and Portugal have expressed annoyance due to British advice against visiting both countries.

Over the last month the biggest question considered by those in overseas travel is how to restore confidence in the eyes of you and I – the traveller and holidaymaker.

Now all travellers from Spain must self-quarantine, the Canaries and Balearics included.

Whether you travel to mainland Spain or any of its islands you will have to self-isolate for fourteen days upon your return.

Scots can travel to the Canaries and enjoy Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote and La Gomera again.

What’s the betting that, in a few days’ time, the Scottish government will say Scots can fly to Spain again.

Spain has announced that it would let British residents enter the country without having quarantine restrictions. And it starts as from today.

Even if countries open up to Britons when will the Foreign Office remove its ban?

Just About Travel tells you what’s hot (and what’s not) in the travel world right now

Spain is only the choice of 13.6% of people aged 25-34.

I am surprised at some of the names on this list. Some might be thought to be once in a lifetime breaks.

Keep your eyes out for bargains. I am sure there will be some launched over the next month or so.

The collapse of Thomas Cook has hit some destinations and only now in the cold light of day are they realising the implications.

Today there is yet another weather warning so I suspect that even more of us will try and book a holiday away.

The specialist booking company, Spain-Holiday.com has just produced its annual Summer Spending Report 2019 which gives guidance to those visiting Spain an idea of what they will be facing in expenses.

We might be happy about the good weather being forecast but travel agents and tour operators aren’t.
