Scotland: Passengers vaccinated for both EU and US began to travel without isolation

After the Scottish government made a decision earlier this week, the rules changed at 4 am.

Tourism experts say that if the government introduces a new category of tourist traffic lights, it will be a “disaster”
Tourism expert Paul Charles said that if the government introduced a new category of traffic lights, it would be a “disaster.”
The CEO of The PC Agency, a travel consultancy, told ITV’s Good Morning UK program: “Introducing the amber watch list on top of the amber list, the green list and the red list would be a disaster.”
Mr. Charles argued that the creation of a watch list is intended to warn travelers that countries with coronavirus data that may include Italy and Spain may be included in the red list in a short time. “This is a situation that we have determined. No effect. Get it today”.
“With the amber list today, the government can change (the destination) to red in a short period of time,” he added.
Mr. Charles said that the traffic light system did not achieve its goal of encouraging the tourism industry to recover.
“The current system in the UK is hindering the recovery, which is not helpful to the industry because people are not confident to make reservations because people are worried that places will change in a short period of time anyway.”
