Portugal Is One of The “Paradises” In the Covid Context

  • 17 May, 21

British tourists are now able to travel to Portugal without major restrictions, after several months in which only essential travel and tight rules were permitted. At a time when the national epidemiological situation is favourable and vaccination campaigns are gaining pace, the demand for flights to Portuguese territory, especially to the Algarve, has shoot up. Portugal now lines in the “green list” of countries considered safe to travel to and exempt from quarantine on arrival in England.

Portugal is one of the few countries in Europe to join this list without restrictions, as the majority will be on the “yellow” list, which implies tighter restrictions, as is the case in Spain, France and Greece. Therefore, this is “good news” for national tourism, heavily penalised by the pandemic and highly dependent on British holidaymakers.

This situation shows Portugal is being seen as a safe destination for travel. If during the third wave of the pandemic, more specifically in January, the country was world news for the worst reasons by breaking consecutive records, now the situation is much more inviting.
