Simon Calder, a travel news writer, shared an article on the Barbados Ministry of Tourism placing the UK under the high-risk category due to rising number of infections in the country. The UK joined a list of countries under this category including Brazil, the US, France and Spain.
Travellers from the UK will need to undergo certain protocols to travel to Barbados including Covid-19 negative test. Officials from the Ministry of Health and Wellness will check all arriving passengers to check results before letting them deboard the plane. Travellers will also be required to limit movement and remain on hotel or resort grounds for the initial days.
Barbados update: British visitors from 1 October must provide evidence of a negative Covid-19 test before departure. On arrival, they must remain in the grounds of their hotel/villa while awaiting a second coronavirus test – four/five days after the first.https://t.co/B2fxmdIWNG

6. The Points Guy’s tweet on airline cancellation fees
The Points Guy, a travel blog founded by Brian Kelly, tweeted an article on United Airlines eliminating change fees, which was applied for paying any difference between an existing and new ticket. The fees was aimed at increasing the ancillary revenues of airlines.
The Covid-19 pandemic, however, has drastically impacted airlines whereby customers are looking for options that do not penalise them for changing plans. The article noted that the move by United Airlines was a step in the right direction and that other fees such as resort fees, season fees, membership fees etc., should also be eliminated.
The Critical Points: First to go were airline cancellation fees, next should be hotel resort fees https://t.co/zD5zlh1iaf

10. Simon Calder’s tweet on P&O Cruises pausing its operations until early 2021
Simon Calder tweeted on cruise liner P&O Cruises announcing its plans to pause its cruise operations until early 2021 due to the increasing restrictions on travel from the UK owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. Majority of the destinations of P&O including France and Spain have placed a mandatory two week quarantine on travellers from the UK.
P&O is one of many cruise liners who have been facing tough conditions due to the pandemic. Cruise operators have been forced to cancel itineraries, reconfigure ships to reduce risk of infection and deal with several restrictions imposed by various governments.
Travel: the (former and future) industry of human happiness.
Of the many components, the cruise business has been harder hit than any other.
You know you're in trouble when your extremely expensive assets have themselves become tourist attractions.https://t.co/k8FIItjnbv— @simoncalder (@SimonCalder) September 17, 2020
