What about those who have a job to go to, this would mean a month away from their jobs instead of the usual two weeks.
And it includes ALL UK entrants , not just visitors

Good idea Rocky, now if only the powers that be could have thought of it :0)

and if there was an instant test.

[rockyracoon]

Is there an instant test?

They are working in one that takes 20 minutes.

My simple answer is don't go abroad on holiday. It won't ruin anyone's life to stay put. Holidays are nice, but not essenial.

I doubt those working for the aviation industry will see it that way apc

[mushroom25]

….and nor will those who need to do business outside the UK. not all business affairs can be conducted online.

It's certainly an opportunity for overweight people in crumpled shirts to be even more overbearing with the public at large.

I welcome the challenge to remain civil but aloof.

Douglas what are you on about?

Bobbie, we both worked in the aviation industry when we were young. The airline I worked for went bust and I was one of over £300,000 who lost my job. The news then was all about poor holidaymakers, with only a brief token mention that many jobs were lost. My reason for not holidaying would be to protect lives, especially my own. Airlines will eventually bounce back. Lives stay lost.

the uk tourist industry is on it's knees, they need our custom
not spain greece etc, look after our own, oh i hear we get no sun...

//So there will be carbon dioxide detector vans patrolling outside your house after you come back off your hols ; just to make sure you're in//

then again, it won't determine how many people have been infected on the holidaymakers journey from airport to home

I have a holiday in Montenegro booked at the end of July. The chances of me being able to go are vanishingly thin.
I think the tourism industry will permanently change. Rural retreats will be in, city breaks will be out. I think some of the cheap, fly by your seat of your pants airlines such as Ryanair, Norwegian will go.

It would depend which country you wanted to go to. Some still have closed borders and some won’t admit people from countries with such high numbers of covid19

That comes as no surprise and it's nothing to do with Coronavirus. The UK tourist industry struggles because it provides a poor product. In the regular tourist spots hotels are either ridiculously priced or uninhabitable; restaurants are either out of reach of the ordinary pocket or provide inedible food; pubs are overpriced and often have surly staff; parking (where available) costs more than a three course lunch; most locals would prefer you didn't go to "their" part of the country. Yes there are some delightful spots and very good attractions. But the overall package is often dire. And it rains a lot.

I regularly holiday in the UK and my experiences are not at all like that - in fact that sounds like the very few I've experienced abroad.
