Travel industry leaders have complained the UK government’s plan to reopen international travel in the wake of the COVID-19 lockdown is “overly cautious,” and have called for the top European holiday destinations to be added to the quarantine-free “green list.”
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announced on Friday that Britain will allow international travel to resume from May 17, but just 12 countries and territories made the so-called “green list,” which include Portugal, Israel, New Zealand, Australia, and the tiny Faroe Islands.
