Europeans do not want British tourists to visit

Europeans do not want British tourists to visit the Continent this summer, according to a new survey.

Spaniards are most opposed to the arrival of UK holidaymakers, with nearly two thirds (61 per cent), keen on Britons to stay away this year, 15 percentage points more than any other European nationality.

A majority of French, German and Italian residents also want British travellers to stay home, according to polling by YouGov.

In France, Spain, Germany and Italy, only residents from the US and China are less welcome, the research showed.

The UK Government’s ‘travel corridors’, allowing for the return of overseas holidays without quarantine , come into force today.
