travel has meant testing. across the country centres like these have pepped up country centres like these have popped up to swap passengers, but things are about to change. throughout the summer, the travel industry and the government have disagreed about the use of these, pcr tests for all travellers when they arrive in the uk. the government has always argued that this is necessary to be able to identify variants of concern, but the travel industry say it is a barrier and too expensive. before the end of october, if your double jab, pcr tests are going to be replaced by the cheaper lateral flow tests. if you test positive, you will need to have a pcr test and isolate at home. it is a relief for hotels have struggled as families who have stayed away because of the added costs. the who have stayed away because of the added caste— who have stayed away because of the added coate— added costs. the uk market has dro ed added costs. the uk market has dropped between _ added costs. the uk market has dropped between 50 _ added costs. the uk market has dropped between 50 and - added costs. the uk market has dropped between 50 and 7096, l dropped between 50 and 70%, depending on the month. especially families that are hard—hit by the restrictions invented and the traffic light system, which evidently —— obviously, every three weeks, it was like a surprise of what would happen. so this change is

going to boost sales massively. it going to boost sales massively. it is not the only change, so from the 4th of october, fully vaccinated travellers will also not need to take a predeparture lateral flow test before they travel. if you're not double jabbed, it is a very different story stop you will need to take a test before you travel and self—isolate at home for ten days after every international trip, as well as paying for pcr tests. for industry, these changes cannot come soon enough. industry, these changes cannot come soon enough-— soon enough. very pleased with the announcement. _ soon enough. very pleased with the announcement. just _ soon enough. very pleased with the announcement. just wanted - soon enough. very pleased with the announcement. just wanted to - soon enough. very pleased with the | announcement. just wanted to hear, and i_ announcement. just wanted to hear, and i think_ announcement. just wanted to hear, and i think the government has been listening _ and i think the government has been listening to _ and i think the government has been listening to the industry, we have been _ listening to the industry, we have been interacting with them for some time, _ been interacting with them for some time, it_ been interacting with them for some time, it is_ been interacting with them for some time, it is a — been interacting with them for some time, it is a great piece of news for us — time, it is a great piece of news for us it— time, it is a great piece of news for us. it will give our customers the end — for us. it will give our customers the end of— for us. it will give our customers the end of summer that they deserve, abroad _ the end of summer that they deserve, abroad in_ the end of summer that they deserve, abroad in the sun. so yes, we welcome _ abroad in the sun. so yes, we welcome the announcement. not eve one welcome the announcement. not everyone in _ welcome the announcement. iirrt everyone in scientific community is agrees that pcr tests should be removed. i agrees that pcr tests should be removed. ., ~' agrees that pcr tests should be removed. ., ~ ., , removed. i would like to see pcr tests remain _ removed. i would like to see pcr tests remain because _ removed. i would like to see pcr tests remain because they - removed. i would like to see pcr tests remain because they give l removed. i would like to see pcr| tests remain because they give us removed. i would like to see pcr - tests remain because they give us so much information already from the sequencing, so we know when delta

7:07 pm
good news for travellers, and they will be on the outs, so also predeparture tests as well which proves something has been putting off travellers travelling. and overall, with a system that will become a bit simpler, we are hoping that it will help kick—start the travel sector a little bit more. it won't turn everything completely around, we mustn't forget that we have had 18 months of the travel sector being very hard hit, so we do still need some government support to help see the travel agents and operators through the remainder of this year, even with these changes. how clear are you about the criteria for a country going onto the red list? it for a country going onto the red list? , ., ., , .,, for a country going onto the red list? , ., ., , ., list? it is not always open and transparent — list? it is not always open and transparent as _ list? it is not always open and transparent as to _ list? it is not always open and transparent as to how - list? it is not always open and transparent as to how those l transparent as to how those decisions are made. we understand the principles and that is to help
7:08 pm
variants of concern, but we don't always see the details behind these particular decisions, and also come in a way that might help the industry to plan further ahead. that said, it is good news for countries coming off the red list and some of those are very popular winter sun destinations, the maldives, turkey, we will be looking to see more countries come off the red list. we have the october half term only a few weeks away, so how much of a life saver might that be for travel companies now that families realise that there might be more places they can safely travel to?— can safely travel to? potentially commit is _ can safely travel to? potentially commit is going _ can safely travel to? potentially commit is going to _ can safely travel to? potentially commit is going to be _ can safely travel to? potentially commit is going to be a - can safely travel to? potentially commit is going to be a big - can safely travel to? potentially. commit is going to be a big help. with announcements like these, the devil is in the detail, and with the removal of pcr test, the government has said that will happen by the end of october, but —— november, but in england, certainly, we would like to have some clarification as soon as we can but those measures should be
7:09 pm
