message: Tourism in Cumbria has endured an "extraordinarily difficult" year but can "come back stronger than ever", a travel industry boss has said. (And this is just one region of many that have been suffering for a year.) https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cumbria-55804337
And not a word about it in this encyclopedia page. This is not something that lasted a short time; it will continue to have a huge impact in tourism for another year at least. In spite of England's optimism.
This is the current situation, a year after it all started; unless it changes dramatically, another year of major losses for the industry.
   United Kingdom
   The United Kingdom is currently in a full national lockdown, with restrictions expected to start lifting in March, and full lockdown eased by June.
   All arrivals into the UK must show a negative PCR test, fill in a passenger locator form and quarantine for 10 days.
   Arrivals from high-risk countries will have to quarantine in government-managed hotels for 10 days at a personal cost of £1,750 (2,000 Euros) per person. More information, including the list of high-risk countries, here.
   There are fines of up to £10,000 (11,450 Euros) and prison time if quarantine rules are not followed.
    Scotland is strongly discouraging arrivals into the country. From 15 February, all arrivals, regardless of what country they travelled from, will have to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days, at a cost of £1,750 (2,000 Euros) .
Travellers who arrive in England whose final destination is Scotland will have to quarantine in England.https://www.euronews.com/travel/2021/01/25/what-s-the-latest-on-european-travel-restrictions
     People arriving in the UK now face coronavirus tests and quarantine, and some must pay to self-isolate at a hotel. They also have to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken within 72 hours before travelling, to be allowed entry. Travellers must then self-isolate for 10 days on arrival. Those who fail to quarantine in a designated hotel face fines of £5,000 to £10,000. https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-52544307

thread_title:  COVID pandemic MASSIVE IMPACT on tourism for a year already... AND continuing  

message: Might allow people from other countries in, if they have been fully vaccinated.
When asked on Monday about the prospect of a traffic light system linked to vaccine passports, the prime minister’s spokesperson did not deny the suggestion, but urged people to wait for the reviews to conclude on 12 April. “The travel taskforce is looking at travel,” they said. “I can’t preempt that.”
Johnson has spoken before about his discomfort with vaccine passports and certificates, but signalled they may be a necessary way to reopen sectors of society. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/mar/22/uk-considers-covid-traffic-light-system-for-international-travel

thread_title:  Vaccine passports might open a bit of tourism   

message: Surely the article needs a section about the pandemic, in addition to a short blurb in the lead.
    England’s top paid attraction, which normally draws more than 3 million visitors a year, the Tower of London has been closed for all but a dozen weeks since the pandemic began and international tourism to London came to an almost-complete standstill. https://apnews.com/article/pandemics-england-london-europe-coronavirus-pandemic-ed962480e6085378a409e12539e09204?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Wednesday_Morning_Wire&utm_term=Morning%20Wire%20Subscribers

thread_title:  COVID 19 is still a huge problem but still no section about Pandemic in this article 

message: People who live in the UK will be able to start travelling within the UK so tourism should improve. But still not ideal for tourists from other countries: How many want to spend 10 days in a hotel for the quarantine?? All visitors must quarantine for 10 days on arrival. Depending on country of origin, this will either take place at a hotel or at your place of residence. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/uk-travel-covid-19/index.html
     All shops in England will be allowed to reopen from next Monday, while pubs and restaurants will be allowed to serve customers outdoors, in line with the previously announced roadmap for easing restrictions.  https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2021/apr/05/travel-industry-frustrated-by-lack-of-clarity-on-road-map-to-reopening?utm_term=c1fcf2545f90c58a6f9d31417086533c&utm_campaign=GuardianTodayUK&utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&CMP=GTUK_email
    Visitors from the countries on the "red list," are barred from entry, unless they're UK residents/ There's still not much to do in the UK right now, the country has been in full lockdown since early January. Although this lockdown is now being eased -- in line with Prime Minister Boris Johnson's roadmap for the England's path out of lockdown -- some restrictions will likely be in place until the summer. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/uk-travel-covid-19/index.html

thread_title:  Update, restrictions continue to affect tourism 

message: On my Talk page, Lord Belbury suggested that someone needed to update Tourism in the UK with the effects and recommended a WP:BEBOLD. I presume that also applies to Tourism in England.
I have done so, adding a new section about this topic. Peter K Burian (talk) 13:59, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This is helpful, but may be too much on the side of WP:RECENTISM now that it's making up more than half of the article's text. --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:45, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  New section added: Effects of the pandemic on tourism 

message: The jarring middle paragraph tells us nothing about tourism in England and serves only to inform readers that Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, France, the Channel Islands, and the North Sea exist in the vicinity of England.
I propose deleting it... Firebrace (talk) 17:44, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
