  1. With restrictions in place across Britain, a normal life may be still on pause, but that doesn’t mean you can’t explore Britain’s beautiful countryside, wander Britain’s sandy shores, and discover Britain’s historic landmarks once more.
  2. This pause to explore England has changed today for visitors from the United States and most European countries.
  3. Tom Jenkins, CEO of the European Tourism Association (ETOA), joined today’s Q&A together with Gavin Landry, Executive Vice President, The Americas, for Visit Britain.

Gavin joined from his New York Office, while Tom was in Newcastle, England, on his way to a traditional English pub.

He now could have been joined again by his American friends.

American passengers, along with their EU counterparts, that are fully vaccinated or can show a PCR test, are now allowed to enjoy the many sites Britain has to offer to its visitors again.

Dr. Peter Tarlow, co-founder of WTN, said: “Now is the time to visit Britain. It won’t be crowded yet, and everyone is ready and excited to meet you – the visitor – again.”

Listen to today’s hour-long Q&A on what is possible and what is not yet possible sponsored by Elite Products and Profiles of Bermuda.
