"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.

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 |

You shouldn't compare Turkey and the UK. Totally different.
Personally if im going to get sick with covid i ll take a hospital in the UK over one in Turkey any day .
2 vaccine shots doesnt guarantee you wont get ill. |

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. |

And France has:
"France has eased its border restrictions, allowing British tourists to take holidays there from Friday - without any need to prove they've had a coronavirus vaccine.
The UK is one of just seven countries outside the EU that people can travel from and to without needing a "compelling reason" for their journey.
The others are Australia, Israel, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and New Zealand.
But anyone wanting to enter France must have evidence of a negative coronavirus test taken within the previous 72 hours, said tourism minister Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne.
About 17 million British nationals normally visit France every year." |

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

We usually live there.
They've handled the situation far better than Boris and his buffoon mates.
We'll be heading back there asap! We've always felt much safer there than here in every way possible.

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 |

Please don't believe the crap that some people put on here.
If you want to visit Turkey and want the true facts, visit this website.
https://register.health.gov.tr/
And see what steps you have to take to be allowed entry into Turkey.
This is the official Turkish government site and became law today 15th March |

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. |

Latest scotish uni evidence shows both vaccines reduce your change of catching or passing it on by over 60%. So i my eye the vaccine does stop most from catching it in its deadly form |

87% after 2 jabs Pfizer ....... this means you won’t die and you won’t be hospitalised and if you’re in the unlucky 13% studies are now finding that your viral load isn’t high enough (due to vaccine) to transmit. So yeah no guarantee  |

Apparently the vast majority of vaccines don't prevent infection.
Which is why the measles vaccine is useless and why we still see iron lungs given the devastation of polio, here in the UK.

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 |

Well unfortunately for you that decision isn't in your hands  "
it's been given out on BBC news today that holidays abroad are unlikely to happen this year |

Lol the right of citizens to return is generally sacrosanct"
but not freely, it may come at the cost of 10 days in a quarantine hotel |

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 |

""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.

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.
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.
Brilliant fully agree with u, we would alot safer their to englands data, ..

I very much doubt ,the UK Government will be letting anyone holiday abroad this year.If they do ? then expect expensive covid tests on return, self isolation regardless of having covid jabs.Meant to be in Greece beginning of September, really don't think that will happen |

Looks like Turkey is going to be the new Spain with no stupid masks on the beach. You'll be able to tell Spanish tourists apart with their mask lines on their faces. Lol |

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 |
