UK Hotel Reservations for Costa Blanca increase 400%

UK Hotel Reservations for Costa Blanca increase 400%

Postby Bee » Sat Feb 27, 2021 10:28 am

This article says UK hotel reservations for Costa Blanca have increased 400% but they are concentrated mostly in the Autumn. Also the airlines are developing an App for uploading your vaccination paperwork. The EU is also working on a health certificate to facilitate travel. So all good news.

As of March, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) plans to launch the "IATA Travel Pass" "app " , an application in which passengers will be able to manage their vaccination data and test certificates covid . This system will facilitate the crossing of borders and help the definitive reopening of the international flight sector. The International Air Transport Association has developed an application for mobile phones where each passenger can include the vaccination data, as well as the test certificates. The digital tool will be launched in March and the goal is to avoid having to carry physical documents, providing more security and efficiency. In addition, it will facilitate the cross-border movement of passengers, which, according to the airlines, should help the reopening of the international flight market and therefore the economy, tourism, corporate and congress travel.

Regarding the creation of the health passport in which the EC is already working, the intention is for Brussels to have it in place for the summer. This system would become one more complementary option to allow safe international travel while controlling the spread of the coronavirus.
At the moment, PCR tests, quarantines of at least five days and digital records are used to enable follow-up in most EU countries. Vaccines for the coronavirus are not authorized for children under 18 years of age in the EU, so travel could not be limited to those innoculated.

I assume Brits are making these bookings on the assumption that Spain's vaccination programme will be well advanced by the autumn and that Spain will have lifted its travel ban on UK tourists by then. The UK is not "working on the creation of a health passport", because of concerns around discrimination, so it will be interesting to see how these different approaches are compatible - or not.

Only a fool would climb on a plane with 200 passengers all breathing each other’s air for 3 hours, even if vaccinated and Covid free. The only way to travel is by car-caravan or Motorhome, isolating from anyone and everyone. Staying in a hotel for weeks is risky too. If you have your own villa travel by Motorhome or caravan then stay in your villa, or drive by car and stay at overnight quality hotels on route that advertise specialist Covid free cleaned rooms, on route to your villa then just go supermarket shopping and butchers shopping, use restaurants but only if the tables are well spaced out. I think this will be the new normal.

There has to be other travel options. I would guess no more than 10% use their own villas/apartments. What about the other 90%? Stay at home?

I agree, Madeira, Florida, Turkey or say Crete by motorhome is a little awkward

I suspect it’s along the lines of, there’s an overreaction to the Pandemic when it’s “survivable” by so many. That’s generally their message.

But, we might be surprised. After all, that data is nine months out of date
