Popular package holiday operator TUI could suspend its Spanish holiday programme if the UK government reinstates the 14 day mandatory quarantine period for travellers returning from visiting Spain.
The UK government removed the quarantine requirement for arrivals from Spain – along with more than 60 other countries – on July 4, allowing package holidays to resume, however the number of Covid-19 cases in Spain has now tripled sparking fears that the UK government may reinstate the mandatory 14 day quarantine restriction.
A TUI spokesperson said: “As per our TUI Holiday Promise, we won’t take customers on holiday if we know they’re required to quarantine on arrival or on their return home.
“We’re closely monitoring government advice and should this change, we’ll adapt our holiday programme and proactively contact all impacted customers to discuss their options.
“If a customer’s holiday can’t go ahead due to Covid-19, they’ll have the option to receive a refund credit note for the full value of their holiday or a cash refund.”
