Not Just Travel Wild About Holidays

Important Info To Be Aware Of:

EU officials have confirmed that Britons travelling to Europe next summer will need to apply for a visa waiver.

The visa waiver will cost €7 for people aged 18-70. There will be no charge for children and those over 70.

It will last for three years, or until the holder’s passport expires, whichever comes first.

Passengers will apply online or via a mobile app and most applications will be approved within minutes, say officials, although they have warned it might take up to 72 hours or even up to a month for more complex cases.

As part of the application process, ‘full disclosure’ is required regarding an applicant’s background, including travel history and any criminal record.

EU Home Affairs Minister Ylva Johansson said the visa waiver, officially called the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) will follow the implementation of the automated EU Entry/Exit System (EES), which she has confirmed will launch on 10 November 2024 following years of delays.

She said introduction of the ETIAS will follow six months later, meaning it should be in place by mid-May 2025.

When the EES comes into force in the autumn, travellers with non-EU passports, including those travelling on British passports, will need to register their fingerprint and have their photo taken the first time they cross the border.

The new system is expected to lead to delays on arrival at EU airports and ports as it will take border guards up to two minutes longer to process each passenger.

Today Is World Tourism Day!

Did you know?

Tourism employs one in every ten people on Earth. Tourism in rural areas can particularly benefit traditionally disadvantaged groups such as women - who make up 54% of the workforce in the tourism sector compared to 39% for the whole economy - youth and Indigenous people.

How to celebrate World Tourism Day
World Tourism Day is best celebrated by digging into your book of dreams and finding that place in the world you most wish to go. If you’re unable to get yourself there now, plan for the future and take a closer trip to get yourself into the groove of going out, seeing the world, and travelling.

Wishing A Very Happy 75th Birthday To Our NHS.
As those of you who know me will be aware, I am proud to say that I have worked in the NHS for 42 years. As I write I realise that means I have worked there for more than half of its life!!!!🤗
Travel has always been my passion, so when the opportunity came along to become a travel consultant as well; it seemed the right thing to do.
I feel very lucky to have loved both chosen careers.

Passport Info From Citizens Advice
Please make sure you check, we want you to be sure you can travel!

Travelling in Europe
This advice applies to England

If you’re planning to travel in the EU, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland or Liechtenstein you should:

check the latest travel advice on GOV.UK - there might be extra rules because of coronavirus
check your passport is valid for the dates you’re travelling

get travel insurance

find out if you’ll be charged more to use your mobile phone

check you’ve got everything you have to take if you’ll be driving, for example a UK sticker for your car

check you’ve got the right documents if you’re taking your pet

Check your passport is valid for the dates you’re travelling

You’ll need to renew your passport if either:

there’s less than 3 months left on your passport when you travel - check your passport to find out when it expires
your passport is 10 years old or more on the day you enter the EU country - count this from the date your passport was issued

You can check if your passport will be valid for your trip on GOV.UK. You’ll need to search for the country you’re going to and click on ‘entry requirements’.

Apply for your passport as early as you can - it can take several weeks to process in busy times. If you need to renew a passport urgently, you can book an appointment for the 1 week fast track service on GOV.UK.

It's World Oceans Day Today.
We love to send people off on their holidays close to the sea, but we need to take care of that amazing blue water:

Our ocean needs protection.
Our ocean covers 70% of the planet and supports life as we know it
Every second breath we take comes from the ocean
Our ocean feeds billions of people
Our ocean hosts 80% of the world’s biodiversity.

However, our oceans are in crisis. They are being threatened by pollution such as abandoned fishing nets, overfishing, bycatch, and the effects of climate change.

We know the problems. We know the solutions.

World Oceans Day is a day to take action and raise awareness.

Join us for UN World Oceans Day 2023 on 8 June.In celebration of the 2023 theme Planet Ocean: Tides are Changing we will be joining forces with decision make...
