Europe holiday this spring/summer?

Hedging my bets this year.

Last summer's holiday abroad was rolled over to this year but we've got a week of walking in The Malverns to make up for the probable block on going abroad.
 
Certainly not spring or summer abroad for us, it will be city breaks and UK trips in a motorhome. Might look to a short haul destination come October time depending on how things pan out, but that's very much TBD
 
I pretty much live to travel. Nothing beats zipping round a few European cities doing my photography, soaking up the history and the local beer each Summer.

I am not hopeful at the moment. I'm due to submit my PhD next month, and I've been motivating myself for the last year with thoughts of trips away. However, I'm pretty certain it won't be happening any time soon and I don't really think it's in the power of out government to make it happen. Even if they turn round and say we're happy for you to travel from May 17th onward, I doubt many destinations will be receiving tourists.

I'd usually cross a few international borders when doing this, but I think it would be crazy to plan anything like that in the current situation.
 
Won’t be popular with a good few million if they can’t get on the beach for a couple of week.

Johnson will move heaven and earth to get them there in my opinion, he will want to maintain his vaccine bounce.
 
What I dont quite understand is what the specific risk is that won't always be there?

Pretty much everyone who is vulnerable has received their first vaccine and in the next few weeks will receive their second. If the argument is made regarding variants and the risk of returning tourists bringing them home, doesn't that mean we can literally never go abroad ever again as we will always have variants of Covid 19?

The risk will now always be there, but I think its sensible to wait for cases to reduce massively and vaccination to be far more widespread before pulling on my speedos in foreign climes

The risk will be mitigated significantly when everyone has been vaccinated and the chances of spreading the virus are greatly reduced.

But that's the point by July everyone will be vaccinated, and yet still the government advisor yesterday said basically "no foreign holidays this summer " I don't quite understand what will be different in the future?
