UK camping websites enjoyed a record day of bookings after the government said passengers returning from Spain must quarantine for 14 days, with one operator calling it the “final nail in the coffin” for those considering a foreign trip this summer.
Travel operators said the sudden imposition of the measure – which was effective from midnight on Saturday – would encourage people to stay in the UK.
Although Blackpool may replace Benidorm for some holidaymakers, industry figures are concerned that the drizzly British weather may put a dampener on a summer of staycations.
Those looking for a staycation are being urged to move fast, however, as many campsites in popular destinations are almost full due to operating at reduced capacity to adhere to social distancing.
