Brits more likely to catch Covid in Blackpool than on holiday in Benidorm

The findings have led those in the travel industry to slam what they claim are the UK’s strict rules on testing.

Holidaymakers have to be tested before their travel back from a green list country and book a test for day two after their return. Tim Alderslade, chief executive of Airlines UK, said: "We don't ask people visiting Blackpool or Cornwall to take expensive PCR tests or complete laborious locator forms, and we shouldn't be treating overseas travel any differently to domestic tourism.

"The current travel restrictions have seen the UK become a total outlier compared to the rest of Europe and resulted in a summer season in name only, costing the UK billions in lost trade.Tory MP Henry Smith, chairman of the all-party Future of Aviation Group, said PCR tests for double-jabbed travellers from amber and green countries should be replaced with cheaper lateral flow ones.

Mr Smith condemned the “complex and costly test regime which is making travel prohibitively expensive for too many and damaging aviation sector recovery, jobs and our wider economy".Lisa Minot discusses spike in Covid cases in Cornwall amid growing popularity in staycations
