No pressure #GrantShapps - just the entire UK travel industry and millions of its customers tuned in to hear where we can go when and how. Clarity please 🤞🏻🚦✈️🚦🤞🏻

Tour ops, agents, airlines, destinations, airports, hotels, car hire, ferries AND travelling public wanting to holiday or see loved ones learn their fate via a scrappy TV briefing. #Despicable #GlobalTravelTaskforceJOKE

So Gove & Son came into contact with someone with COVID (most likely from the UK!) in Portugal watching Champions league, but will be tested every day for a week rather than having to self-isolate for ten days as he is taking part in a pilot scheme... 🙄 news.sky.com/story/covid-19…

I am gutted that I can’t be in London on this #traveldayofaction joining travel industry colleagues to #speakupfortravel With you all in spirit as we plead for Govt to allow travel to go ahead safely & provide tailored support for the sector.

I am just trying to imagine the furore, to borrow Chris Wright’s brilliant analogy, if the hospitality industry were informed by Tweets how & when it can operate in some parts of the country, probably/maybe later in July. Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps should be ashamed.

Devouring the ultimate #armchairtravel TV, delving in to a cornucopia of books set in Italy as Richard E. Grant brings them to life. #Writearoundtheworld is a #BBC4 gem - almost as good as being there. And #fartacious is now in my vocab armoury! Bravo 👏🏻

So far so amazing - fair to say Chris Evans & team are loving it (obvs) 🙌🏻

Thanks to James and the team at BBC Surrey for the chance to talk about the latest changes in travel restrictions a few minutes ago - and the value of travel agents to guide you through the latest rules. #savefuturetravel

This measured & inspiring piece by Sam Experience Travel Group in TTG is a rallying call for us all. The tough challenges continue but the tide of consumer confidence is turning. bit.ly/2XlmPG0

Another lost summer – Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps now needs to deliver a plan to restart the #travelindustry – capitalising on the #covid19 vaccine rollout and removing widespread PCR tests. #savefuturetravel

Perhaps Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps once had a disappointing holiday & vowed to make life as tough as he could for an entire industry and its customers. There's only so much bated breath we can all hold ....and counting. #Getonwithit

Pinged 8am Tues, tested 11.15, neg result 7am. Pulled out of a village event last night but amazed how many people I know have disabled Test&Trace. Vacc'd plumber here - had it 4 weeks ago & he can barely finish a sentence. #Covidisstillhere #considerothers

This is so simple & effective - located on the waterfront in Nea Paphos, Cyprus. Such a clear (& practical) message. Whilst we still devour #singleuseplastic, I would love to see one in every port & beach resort - even cities.

How in the name of humanity have we become the country that tells refugees to go to yet another country “for an appointment” (available 3 days a week)…? Shame on you Priti Patel MP Boris Johnson and our so-called “Civil” Service. #NotInMyName

A tradition here at 101: we always put together our own digital Christmas card. This photo was taken by our director Catherine on a recent trip to Bequia in the Grenadines. Happy Christmas to all our followers and partners!

This piece by 101 Holidays has struck a chord. Of the 3 stages of a holiday - anticipation, experience & memories - we can overlook the power of the former. I just booked a June trip with Simpson Travel and am now revelling in priceless anticipation. bit.ly/3lgxoq1

6+ hrs & counting on easyJet delay. Capt taken ill as we boarded. New one flown in from Nice (can’t use UK crew on this aircraft!). Missed slot so now sitting on runway. Superb CSD doing her best but everyone tired & fractious. Wish us luck 🍀
