Read full press release below.

Date: 24 January 2022

Julia Simpson, WTTC President & CEO said: “WTTC welcomes the government’s decision to scrap testing for those who are fully vaccinated travelling to England. 

“There is no longer any need for testing, and we urge Ministers across the UK and countries around the world, to follow England’s lead and allow the fully vaccinated to travel freely. 

“After a gruelling 18 months for the UK Travel & Tourism sector, this will provide a massive boost to businesses up and down the country.

“We hope it will also see the end of the unnecessary passenger locator forms.”
