UKinbound has urged the Department for Transport to remove day two testing for vaccinated international arrivals ahead of the next travel restrictions review.
UKinbound highlighted how these day two tests hinder the recovery of the travel sector. Along with being inconsistent with European countries.
With some European countries not being required to take a day two test, UKinbound stresses how this has a significant impact on both the UK’s outbound and inbound tourism.
CEO of UKinbound, Joss Croft, stated that “2022 presents an array of challenges for the UK’s inbound tourism industry as it rebuilds, but recovery is on the horizon. However, this demand will only convert into bookings if the UK is competitive internationally, which is why we need the day two test for vaccinated international arrivals removed.”
