Would love to be able to say yes. But think no

As plane travel will be essential travel only. We'll all be back in work if you worked previously, will still have to observe a version of social distancing and no mass gatherings.

ie no big sporting events concerts or theatre events.

Really hope so but I suspect there’ll be a series of lockdowns over the next 12 months or so until we have a vaccine or heard immunity is reached. So it depends if October coincides with a lockdown period.

Going to be optimistic and say YES though

We are already booked up for October and have been since about Christmas. However Ryanair has cancelled our return flight so we have accommodation on the flight out but no way of getting home.

We suspect that Ryanair is rethinking their entire winter schedule.

If you think you will travel outside the Uk till there is a vaccine you are deluded. I think before any travel overseas you will need a travel card to say you have been vaccinated. Hope I’m wrong.

No sign or mention of any tourists being allowed in any time soon. We're resigned to the fact that our July holiday will be cancelled and we're just going to have to wait before deciding on booking for October.

We think No, unfortunately, as a second wave of coronavirus is predicted when the winter flu season arrives. Without a vaccine, it would be madness for any country to allow tourists to return. As GC is a small island, it can remain pretty much sterile, if it keeps the tourists away.

People keep going on about a vaccine there won't be one, this virus in one strain or another has been around for years and no vaccine. So live with it because science isn't going to help us this time, if it could the world wouldn't have gone into lockdown think about it.

Think people are confused with coronavirus and covid-19. Covid-19 is a strain of the coronavirus, as is the common cold and seasonal flu but it's a new, or novel virus, so none of us have immunity. There will be a vaccine but just as seasonal flu mutates and different strains prevail, so covid-19 is likely to do so and will become an addition to seasonal flu. Immunity will build, over time but there will never be 100% immunity. The unpredictability of how it affects different people, to different extents, is the aggravating factor, which sets covid-19 apart from other viruses......in my opinion

Coronavirus itself is not a sexually transmitted disease. But as during sex there is very close contact between two individuals, the chance of someone contracting the virus from another infected person is almost 100%

While it would be relatively easy to spot someone at a club who is symptomatic, the problem is that many people may not know they have coronavirus for a while – and might feel ok enough to venture to a club but it can take five to six days before clinical signs start.

At the beginning of March we had 10 reported deaths in the U.K. Now that figure has risen to around 15,000 if you include deaths outside of hospitals.

Yet some idiots are counting down the days to be allowed to travel to a PDI club...

Really don't think we're idiots at all we're responsible adults and of course we'll take advise from the government if we should be allowed to safely travel of course if it's not safe then we'll definitely not be going without question .... we can still enjoy our holiday with maybe no fun attached am sure we're all looking forward to getting some sun on our backs

Read previous posts on various threads in this forum and you will identify the people I am referring to as idiots. They are certainly not behaving responsibly. Also just because the government lifts travel restrictions it doesn’t mean it is safe to attend sex parties! Unless you are packing a Hazmat Suit in your luggage. However wearing it in the clubs will probably ruin the experience.

Surely we're not safe to travel until the virus is eradicated, or we are tested for immunity. It would be nice to know that was imminent, but realistically, it isnt. We are all desperate for our holidays, wherever that may be.

I agree. We just all need to be patient.

It’s like staying at home right now, we all need to do it as the government keeps telling us. This I the only way to slow it down.

I cannot understand why some people are disagreeing with what I have said. I guess they just don’t like to hear the truth.

At the end of the day it’s not just their health they are risking but more importantly other peoples.

Everyone is having to make massive sacrifices throughout all this pandemic, for example not seeing loved ones or struggling financially. So if they cannot sacrifice a bit of swinging for 12 months then they need to take a long look at themselves.

I would love to be able to jump on the plane and fly straight out there now but things have changed...and when they will go back to how they were or if they will is anyone’s guess.

By class I assume you mean glass. To answer that I am just being realistic and sensible. Which in these situations you need to be otherwise we will have a second wave of the pandemic.

They will eventually lift travel restrictions but they certainly will not say that there is no risk.

Also when travel is allowed the government and local authorities are not assuming you will be heading straight to a sex club. ...! Common sense needs to be adhered to.

Everyone will have to make their own judgements, hopefully they will use their head and not their cock to decide.

Just read through the posts in this forum.

Can i just add that not everyone on here goes to gran canaria looking to attend the clubs and have sex. Some have vanilla friends and extended family who we'd like to see. The swinging side for us is not an essential part of the visit.

I also believe it will be a long time before anyone can travel for holidays. Our original response was a way of having something to look forward too beyond all the doom and gloom that is about at present.

This is the new normal for the time being and will be for some time. We're all affected in different ways, for us, it is not seeing our 8 grandchildren. My 90 year old Dad is on his own and I'm missing him, so much.So for me personally, holidays are on the bottom of my list.

This is exactly what I mean.. I went to PDI at the end of November and since then the world has become a different place. After all this I am not sure I would even want to sit arm to arm with a stranger on an aeroplane again let alone go back into the clubs full of people of all nationalities.

It’s nice to dream of going back but like you say it’s the least of my priorities right now.

Spain have already mentioned that tourist may have to adopt social distance measures on the beach and in restaurants when the open up again. They have only started to lift lockdown on Monday So to think that tourist will not be permitted to visit in October is off the mark

Lockdown is still in place for another 3 weeks according to my friends on the island. They are hoping then they will be able to go out and take exercise. It sounds like businesses will start opening on a gradual basis with bars and restaurants being last but they are unsure. They are just frustrated they can't exercise daily like we can.

I see the childish game of "i know more than you" and "i'm right so you are wrong" is rearing its head again.

Perhaps we need to get our own house in order before we start assuming about the situation elsewhere. How things develop within our own shores is where the real threat to any future holidays lays at the present time, and ultimately will dictate if and when we can travel anywhere.

And remember......another's opinion is just that, an opinion, and by definition cannot be wrong. So let's allow others to express their personal opinion without trying to belittle them.

Costa Blanca Spain...

I suppose anything is possible in the current climate, but I doubt it.

I used to visit PDI a lot in the early/mid 90's long before the swinger scene really took off there.

In those days the place was very busy and had a good fresh feel about it. The Irish quarter (around the Greenfield) the Kasbah and Metro centres were all packed at night.

When we visited again a few years ago (this time on a swinger holiday) I noticed a huge difference.

While the swinger scene and the gay bars were busy, the rest of the place was eerily quiet and to be honest I thought looked more than a little run down.

While we would certainly go back one day for a swinger holiday, it would be way down the list for a vanilla beach holiday.

It will take quite some time for any kind of tourism to get going again so shutting down the swinger and gay scene permanently would be a very big mistake.

"If lived on the island of GC the last people I would want there is plane loads of overseas swingers . Perhaps the island will clean up its act and close all the clubs for good and re market itself .

I suppose anything is possible in the current climate, but I doubt it.

Good post. I agree PDI is run down.

However maybe a switch from the swinger tourist to the vanilla holiday makers, ie families, young ones and the anyone inbetween would be a better move. As this demographic will bring in more money. Not only is it a wider group but they will also spend more money especially during the day...while the typical swinger sleeps it off or sunbathes by the pool or beach. At night time once in a club they are doing activities more than spending money.

To attract more tourism obviously money needs to be spent. It’s got to be worth it to them though long term as the island is a prime holiday location with year round sunshine and easily accessible for most of Europe.
