England's 'Freedom Day' brings hopes of return of Brits to Greece
The Peninsula
CORFU, Greece - British holidaymakers landed on the Greek island of Corfu on Monday, spurring hopes of a tourism recovery thanks to one of its most important markets.
The British government has dubbed July 19 "Freedom Day", ending over a year of coronavirus lockdown restrictions for its fully vaccinated citizens. British tourists will no longer have to quarantine after returning from Greece. "Today is Freedom Day for the UK, it's also Freedom Day in a sense for us here, in Corfu, as we start welcoming unmasked British tourists," said George Likavgis, a tourism consultant who works with local businesses.More Related News
