If life returns to some kind of normality in the next six months, and you've the money to be able to afford a summer holiday, please consider spending it in the UK this year. It'll do small businesses good, and that will do us all good.

Let's hope that the Japanese, Chinese and American tourists don't adopt a similar attitude. These people spend vast amounts of money.Quote:

Also there is no be to get offensive, the Draft Thread got closed closed for bad behaviour, the same could happen here if you don't keep it civil.
You're right Mick. On the other hand, if all the Brits stopped spending their winter heating allowance money in Spain and kept it in the UK, that would help the UK economy.

North Wales for us in July - I hope. Booked before the current crisis.

When this is all over, I expect there will be significantly less international flight avialability, at least for a while.

I promised to return for a holiday so hopefully, we might get the chance later in the year.
I’ve all but given up on Tuscany in June now .
I'll have to rebook my tickets for the US when all of this dies down, so that's where I'll be heading - supposed to go next month. :grief:

Today's email offered her three dates in September as possible substitutes. Each date is four times the price she has already paid.
I suppose it'll be the same everywhere when restrictions are lifted.

I think Mick P has a point. It’s probably better economically for everyone if, when the world has got a grip on this virus, to continue as we were previously.
I think the only danger with foreign travel is that if carriers and companies do end up going bust during this crisis, holiday costs will end up going up with fewer players in the market.

Can't see that happening to be honest.
Sailing from Newcastle by any chance?Quote:

Yes, the Newcastle one. Like you though, I don't think it will happen. They'll be chasing us for the final payment soon too. We've also booked our St Petersburg tours with Alla Tours, (local Russian company, highly recommended if you didn't know about them), but haven't had to pay anything yet so easier to cancel if necessary.Quote:

Yep, used Alla also.Quote:

I have booked a ferry to Spain in September, I doubt very much if anyone will be travelling anywhere this year.
I hope I am wrong but thinking like this I wont be disappointed.
After this just being able to walk in a park or a library,watching a gig, getting on a bus just living normally will feel like a massive relief.
