The luxury industry is calling on the Government to make further changes to the quarantine rules, so that it can return to growth and represent \"Brand Britain\" around the world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today it was announced that visitors from 60 countries, including major European markets like France, Germany, Spain and Italy along with Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Japan, will not be subject to two weeks' quarantine upon entering England via boat, train or air.<\/p>\n
However the so-called air bridges do not yet extend to higher risk countries such as the US and China along with Middle Eastern countries,<\/strong> which are major consumers of British luxury products. Over notable exclusions from the list, which has been calculated on a \"traffic light\" basis, include Sweden, Portugal and Russia (see below).<\/p>\n British luxury industry body welcomed the list but urged Chancellor Rishi Sunak to step in and do more to encourage overseas visitors to UK cities and shops safely by exempting additional low-risk countries.<\/p>\n
