- 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.
- This pause to explore England has changed today for visitors from the United States and most European countries.
- 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.

WTN Chairman Juergen Steinmetz said there was never a better time to meet in person, so today’s participants agreed to meet up at the upcoming World Travel Market in London (October 31- November 1) followed by the IMEX America MICE trade show in Las Vegas (November 9-11).
