The Government’s travel announcements may be followed closely by Britons keen to go on holidays and feel like their lives are back to pre-pandemic normalcy, but the places that are truly impacted by the announcements have somehow given up on seeing Britons this summer.
Whilst holidays in the UK are truly back, with many opting for staycations to escape the always changing rules, overseas trips are not yet what they used to be.
In France, this has serious ramifications. “French tourists won’t make up for the loss of overseas visitors,” says Marchais.
