"Turkey says UK holidaymakers will be welcome this summer without proof of vaccine or a negative COVID test."

Doesn't seem to me to be very responsible at all. So I personally would give Turkey a miss as a destination.

I'm giving all destinations a miss for this year .

I'm hopeful that all countries will have a different view towards visitors safety next year.

Booked to go there over a year ago for this August.

Unless UK travel advice is against going which the holiday would be cancelled anyway, then we'll be going and we'll have had our second vaccine shots before then.

Personally I don't see any difference to being in any Country as long as you keep away from packed areas.

Now I'm never one for statistics but if you compare deaths due to covid between the UK and Turkey then it's right to say I'd be far more protected in Turkey for those 2 weeks compared to staying in England.

A lot of countries are announcing access to tourists, from countries with a 70% vaccination rate, will be unrestricted.

See how it actually works though, I expect if another countries covid rates are high then we won't be permitted to fly there.

It's not only about the one border but both. If the UK says no flights from Turkey/Africa/Mexico then flights stop.

My first trip will probably be to Australia (to see my family). I've already imagined that this will involve an agreement with both Australia and the UK, but also any country where refueling happens (as direct flights aren't much of a thing).

For me it's more about the airport/s, the airplanes, any public travelling full stop and very happy to avoid all travel abroad until next year ... let's face it, this is how it became a "global" pandemic in the first place!

I love our little island and the adventures I have here thankfully, so will explore here more

neither of which are packed though are they?

if you observe social distance while away how is it any different to going out and about here after june 21st

its dangerous for turkey to introduce new strains to their country sure but for the general population of visitors its no more dangerous than going to the pub here and not knowing if the other people in the building have had a vaccine or negative test

i imagine this too - the restrictions and dangers for us will be around what we fan potentially bring back to the UK so i dont expect the negative test required to return being removed

You may get out but under quarantine when you come back. All an assumption holidays going ahead, until flights resume and to where. Personally I’m not even thinking about it this year.

Don’t know why people would bother. Just go to other hot countries, or wait a little while until the world is safer.

this is obviously very irresponsible of Turkey ...however the very simple solution would be to enforce vaccination to enter the UK. That way Brits can leave no problem, but if you want to came back to the UK you must have had a vaccination (both jabs)

Like most of the main tourist destinations around the world they too are strugglimg to stay in business and provide for their people. I agree no checks is not a good idea but it also shows how desperate some of these tourist destinations are to get people back there and spending. If we were allowed and it was deemed safe to do so we would be booking for the end of may to go abroad. But it is a case of wait and see. Covid in some form or another is not goimg away now and we need to realise this and learn to live with it and like most contagious diseases. And where a vaccine is available use it

Personally if im going to get sick with covid i ll take a hospital in the UK over one in Turkey any day .

Looks like Turkey's covid infected rate per 100,000 is less than Hull, Barnsley and Bradford.

I wonder what testing they do when going to those 3 areas.

First off, That's why I made it abundantly clear I'm not one for statistics but used it as a point of balance to evaluate the risk differences between where I am right now versus going to a country with statically lower covid-19 rates.

Secondly, we've had experience of Turkish hospitals a couple of years ago through our travel insurance and would compare that Turkish medical facility to a brand spanking new private hospital over hear.

Thirdly, I never said having both vaccine shots guaranteed me not getting ill

flights before or after covid? i flew twice last year, once with quarantine imposed when i got back and once with negative tests required on the way out - both times there was about 25 people on the entire flight in both directions

you inly have to look at this thread to see people are not as keen on travelling at the moment so you cant judge busyness of flights on what pre covid travel was like

exactly this - i assume the people rolling their eyes are expecting uk citizens to have a negative test and 2 vaccine shots to leave the house but that doesn’t seem to be the case from june according to boris

this creates additional risk to turkey as a country from variants which might in turn make them have to do another full shut down, but as long as we still have quarantine or requirements for negative test on return to the uk i don’t see how it creates much more risk on a personal level for anyone travelling there than going on the tube in london would

This is what the current update says about arrivals from the Turkish Embassy.

It's always best to get it straight from the horse's mouth

Update For Passengers To Turkey Who Have Been To United Kingdom, Republic Of South Africa, Denmark And Brazil

TURKISH EMBASSY IN LONDON 12.02.2021

UPDATE FOR PASSENGERS TO TURKEY WHO HAVE BEEN TO UNITED KINGDOM, REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA, DENMARK AND BRAZIL

Restrictions regarding direct passenger flights from United Kingdom to Turkey continue.

All passengers of 6 years and older who have been to United Kingdom, Republic of South Africa, Denmark and Brazil in the last 10 days and are travelling by air, land or sea to Turkey are still required to present a negative PCR test result done within the last 72 hours prior.

However, passengers who have been to United Kingdom and Denmark will be quarantined for 14 days at locations they will declare whereas passengers who have been to Republic of South Africa and Brazil will be quarantined for 14 days at locations, which will be designated by Provincial Governor’s Offices following their arrival in Turkey. For those who will have negative PCR test result on the tenth day, the quarantine will be lifted. Those who do not take this test will have to complete the 14-day quarantine.

If Turkeys tourism industry is trying to promote itself on that basis I think they may well have shot themselves in the foot! Not sure I fancy flying at all this year but I definitely won’t be going to Turkey.

Where did you get your source of information from?

I live in Turkey and it was made law today that a government form had to be completed within 72 hrs of entering the country

https://register.health.gov.tr/

It is in English as well. It is very comprehensive and

You cannot enter Turkey unless the form has been completed, or unless you are a Turkish citizen or residency card holder

This is fact and not a Fab "lawyers" opinion

Totally agree with you. Went there last September and the precautions taken EVERYWHERE were better than UK and strictly enforced by Police, hotel/bar owners, supermarkets, taxi's and buses!

We felt far safer in Turkey for those 7 days than we do in the UK even now!

Turkey's decision to state it'll accept persons not vaccinated is quite concerning.

If you have ever been to Dalaman Airport in Turkey (and we love Turkey) in the wee small hours and flying home you'll know what it's like trying to get through security, booked in, and security again. It's absolutely manic with 100's and 100s all mingling about. Couple that with flying home with another 300 people in a tube and it's a foreseen recipe for disaster.

The only good thing is most Airlines are intimating prove of vaccination will be a necessity before flight.

Which is why the measles vaccine is useless and why we still see iron lungs given the devastation of polio, here in the UK.

... Oh wait.

Surely it's most important to do what you want to do yourself and not what others think you should do.

"Turkey's decision to state it'll accept persons not vaccinated is quite concerning.

The only good thing is most Airlines are intimating prove of vaccination will be a necessity before flight."

Tui don’t require vaccination, and I’d imagine they’re the major player when it comes to Turkey package hols.

Stop being sensible

Country is pretty much fucked financially and so many people cant wait to get abroad and spend their money there.

That's really not very different to last summer when hundreds of brits jetted off to Turkey

Personally I don't see any difference to being in any Country as long as you keep away from packed areas.

Like an airport or a plane

Or a bus or a train. "

Exactly look at the London Underground it's ram out every day no social distancing their and we haven't a had a real lockdown where boarders and flights are shut down completely

it will be this that sways me on holidays this year, have no issue with quarantine and or testing but hotel quarantine will put it out of cost range

if its home quarantine then it will be a decision on where in europe if any seems the safest when booking

Doesn't seem to me to be very responsible at all. So I personally would give Turkey a miss as a destination.

Turkey also has a worsening human rights record and have just pulled out of an international convention on domestic violence because “it promotes homosexuality”

There are other beautiful places, far more deserving to give your money to.

Just because Turkey will take them it doesn’t mean we should take them back.....

You want to go on holiday... you get to spend 10 days in quarantine on your own dime in return! I think that is reasonable

i feel like things have deteriorated so much in Europe since a few of these holiday threads were started that i an not sure its even a realistic pipe dream anymore ... i certainly started off optimistic of a social distance holiday with some quarantine at the end at some point this year but not holding my breath anymore

Turkey is accepting tourists from all countries as usual..they haven't stopped anyone entering and staying right throughout the pandemic. We cant see the point in even considering a foreign holiday this year..not worth the risk...flights airports and then hotels and crowds...

Where only in march nearly April. In 3 months time it will look a lot different. As long as the vaccine supplies keep coming. We will be another 30 million doses into own program. The EU will have got their act together and have vaccinated half their adults. Come August or September it may be possible.

"Booked to go there over a year ago for this August.

Unless UK travel advice is against going which the holiday would be cancelled anyway, then we'll be going and we'll have had our second vaccine shots before then.

Kind of implies that we are capable of enforcing travel tests, and covid hotels and or isolation? Anyone have any knowledge of how well they are working now? For me I kind of like it to our annual announcements of tougher immigration to stop the flown of illegals entering the country... Fine words but people can ignore them as they are not policed or enforced.

Two thing....

1)Actually Florida has one of the highest infection rates in the entire nation........and its increasing!

2)Also other thing to bear in mind in that people from the UK are still banned from travelling to the US unless it is absolutely necessary for your job
