2021 Travel Plans

In that scenario, I wonder what would happen to places like Gibraltar? Currently people are free to wander between Gib & Spain, many Spaniards rely on that arrangement for their livelihood. It’s currently an entry point for Brits entering Spain, but onward travel is confined to Andalusia.

anybody planning to take fido abroad next year, i suggest contact your vet now, we took the necessary precautions in 2019 as a safeguard. The main focus is on Rabies antibodies, and this involves blood tests to check for antibodies etc, it took us nearly 4 months to complete the procedure as Fido failed the first test, and it is quite expensive, and it needs to be followed up by a booster jab i think within 2 years, more expense.

 It's OK though as we have regained our sovereignty.......

What goes on at the border between Spain and Gig is not really a concern for most of us.

Just ignore my post then without being so dismissive. 

Latest from the EU

"Separately, the European Commission has confirmed reports that a ban on travel to the EU because of Covid-19 levels, applied to non-EU countries, will be extended to UK visitors from 1 January."

That's fine as long as we extend the same curtesy.  I do however wonder how the Spanish for example will fill the gap in their holiday market coffers?

There is always the Dutch, the Germans, the Scandinavians and the French. They are not totally reliant on Brits.

That is true but the figures I have seen suggest that we make up about 50%.  That's a big hole to fill even if there is just a 10% reduction and the same applies to the reduction is Brits visiting other EU countries.  

LLM I was just going by my own gut feeling and my experiences of winter travel to and around Spain.

A quick google for the stats gave me this:

The leading source markets of Spanish beach tourism are the UK (around 24% of the total arrivals in Spain in recent years), Germany and France (around 15-16% each), followed by Scandinavia and Italy (around 7% each) and the Netherlands (around 5%).
