ABTA creates online guide amid rapidly changing FCO advice
ABTA has created information guides for the trade and travellers to help them navigate the often-confusing foreign office travel advice.
The agent-focused FCO exempt countries guide spells out the mandatory Covid entry requirements, health checks, and quarantine rules for countries that are exempt from the Government’s global advisory against all but essential travel.
It splits out the rules that apply in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and includes details of what booking information is required on arrival, transit rules regarding connecting flights and other rules around face coverings and borders with neighbouring countries.
The guide will be updated to reflect any changes.
In addition to the trade guide, ABTA has created a customer information leaflet entitled "Get ready for travel: customer tips and information for going on holiday or travelling abroad".
The online resource contains information for anyone intending to travel overseas for either business or leisure.
ABTA Head of Destinations Angela Hills said: "In these unique circumstances, it’s important that we continue to support our Members with the required resources to guide them and their customers through the changing travel experience.
"The varying rules, regulations and restrictions for overseas destinations can seem quite complicated, and we hope that these new tools will help our Members to answer questions from customers so they can book with confidence and look forward to their holidays."
