Are strict travel restrictions still in place for many countries?

Although the UK has started to lighten up on their travel restrictions related to Covid, this doesn’t mean to say that everywhere has. You may find that the destination that you wished to travel to still requires you to do a number of things to gain entry that we may not be asking for in the UK.

For example, Malta currently requests that anyone over the age of 12 needs to have been fully vaccinated to be allowed entry. Children between the ages of 5 and 12 need to have a negative PCR test no more than 72 hours before they are due to fly. If you are over the age of 12 and have not had your full vaccine, then you must isolate for 14 days upon arrival in a designated hotel which you have to pay for. This can make it virtually impossible for someone to go on holiday there is they do not meet the guidelines.

The rules and regulations are changing often so you may need to keep an eye on what is happening as it may well change before you go. Most companies are offering some sort of protection / insurance meaning if your holiday is cancelled due to Covid then you should be entitled to a refund.
