Maybe so Ducks, there will be lots more twists & turns to follow. One of the things that is irritating me is the airlines that appear to be building peoples hopes up only to then go and cancel the flights. I know somebody who has recently (late
June) booked a package holiday for Sept and it has already been cancelled.

Sadly a small minority of tourists can spoil it for the majority, i hope i am wrong but i can see further restrictions on visitors if the "idiots" don't learn to behave properly. The technology now exists with the various visitor forms to ban those people that don't know how to behave. Parts of Spain are already imposing stricter rules on masks and tourism has only recently re-started. It is hardly surprising after some of the recent newspaper reports.

Thanks Captain. Those are big drops, but not as big as I would have expected. I would have thought 75 or 80% if I had had to hazard a guess.
