ANITA Calls for Urgent Review on UK Travel Ban

With the much anticipated International travel ban review now on the horizon the Association of Northern Ireland Travel Agents (ANITA) have called on the Northern Ireland executive to urgently review the current travel ban

With the much anticipated International travel ban review now on the horizon the Association of Northern Ireland Travel Agents (ANITA) have called on the Northern Ireland executive to urgently review the current travel ban which is still in place here in Northern Ireland.

Damian Murphy from ANITA said: “Government in Westminister has now lifted all restrictions on local travel there and we now call on our executive  to do the same.  The time now seems right to allow people to travel freely within the UK within any restrictions or the need to isolate on their return – this will simply bring us in line with England.

“We also ask that our executive react quickly to the forthcoming changes that we all hope will see the re-start on International travel on 17 May to countries on the green list. They need to be aware that it takes time for tour operators to make all the required arrangements to facilitate foreign travel and even more so now when extra measures are required to ensure passenger safety throughout the travel process.”
