UK operators want tests for British tourists to be valid for 96 hours UK tour operators want Cyprus to allow British tourists to take a coronavirus test 96 hours before arrival on the island instead of the current 72, which makes it harder for them to travel, the head of Paphos hoteliers Thanos Michaelides said on Thursday. Thanos Michaelides told the Cyprus News Agency that the hoteliers association has conveyed the request to the health ministry and hoped it would be viewed positively. He said recent days have seen some movement from the British market but there was a problem with testing as many could not get their test results within 72 hours, as Cyprus mandates for travellers from countries in category B. Michaelides said a lot of British tourists had missed flights to Cyprus, several by a matter of hours, because they did not receive their test results in time. He said granting an additional 24 hours would be providing a boost since the UK was the only market, which could show improvement. September and October are considered the last months of the summer season and losing them would only widen the loss, he added. “It is a period where there is some interest from the British market, and it would be a shame to miss.” Occupancy in Paphos hotels this month has so far reached 20 per cent. https://cyprus-mail.com/2020/09/17/uk-operators-want-tests-for-british-tourists-to-be-valid-for-96-hours/ |

Very interesting post and gives some hope that the tourist industry will salvage something this year, but reading and watching the news over the last few days our new daily virus rates are averaging 3000 plus, deaths are starting to creep up, question is why would you want us to come? |

Let’s be honest The virus is spreading through air travel My niece who works as a phlebotomist NHS Is reporting that the majority of new serious cases where she works in the uk Needing to be in hospital are from holiday makers returning from abroad. So they are sick enough not to be Asymptomatic. Where did they catch the virus...in the airports...holiday destinations or on the planes? Who knows .....people though are now arriving back in the uk sick and in need of hospital care My own advice...until this is all sorted Stay home stay safe all |
