While the announcement was good news, executive vice-president Maria José Aguiló said that she had wished the UK government had shown this flexibility much earlier.
The simplification of the traffic light system, the elimination of pre-departure tests for travelers who are double vaccinated (returning from non-red list countries) and the replacement of day-two PCR tests with antigen tests are developments that the public and the tourism industry have been calling for.
