Greece removed from corridor but UAE added in winter sun boost
Greece has been removed from the travel corridor, but five of its islands have escaped the cut.
Corfu, Crete, Rhodes, Zakynthos and Kos will remain on the safe list, while returning travellers from all other parts of Greece will be required to quarantine from 4am Saturday morning.
Bahrain, Chile, Iceland, Cambodia, Laos, UAE, Qatar and Turks & Caicos have been added to the travel corridor.
The addition of the UAE in particular could give winter sun sales a late boost.
Meanwhile, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said the travel ban on Denmark will be extended for another 14 days.
The addition of the UAE to the travel corridor was welcomed by Gold Medal.
Managing Director Lisa McAuley said: "The announcement of a travel corridor to the UAE is fantastic news, and opens up the opportunity for agents to make some much needed winter sun bookings.
"Our knowledge of and scale in the region is unrivalled so the team has swung in to action and will be supporting trade partners in the coming days to enable them to make the most of the opportunity that has emerged.
"After so many challenges this year it is wonderful to get this boost – it’ll be a ‘Dubai December’!"
While England remains in lockdown, with people unable to travel unless for work or education, Wales emerged from its two week circuit beaker on Monday with Northern Ireland set to follow suit tomorrow.
Most of Scotland remains on the country’s second highest restriction level.
