England's lockdown roadmap has given holidaymakers a glimmer of hope, with Boris Johnson announcing that under the roadmap's stages, foreign travel could resume from May 17.
But which countries will be open to Brits if restrictions do ease?
The good news is that a number of countries are. already set to welcome UK travellers back from May including hotspots such as Greece, Portugal and Turkey.
Each country has its own entry requirements, with some opening to those with a Covid-19 vaccine, and others allowing tourists to visit provided they can show proof of a negative Covid-19 test.
We take a look at the countries that have already said they will welcome back Brits from May - as well as the destinations that could soon follow suit.
Check out the list below...
Cyprus
Cyprus is due to grant entry to fully vaccinated Brits for holidays from May 1 with no need to quarantine or show proof of a negative Covid-19 test.
Deputy Tourism Minister Savvas Perdios told the semi-official Cyprus News Agency that Brits with the jab would not face further restrictions such as needing a test or to quarantine.
He said: "We have informed the British government that from May 1 we will facilitate the arrival of British nationals who have been vaccinated ... so they can visit Cyprus without a negative test or needing to quarantine."
Greece
Greece's Minister of Tourism Harry Theoharis said that the country is planning to welcome tourists back from May 14 regardless of their vaccine status - and that includes Brits.
Visitors will be able to enter Greece if their have either had the Covid-19 vaccine, or if they can show proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken before travel.
Portugal
Portugal's Secretary of State for Tourism, Rita Marques, has said that the country is looking to welcome tourists back from May. This will not only include those who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, but also those who can show proof of a negative Covid-19 test.
She added that the country will look to reopen to holidaymakers from May or June, depending on the Covid situation at the time.
In another promising step for holidaymakers, Portugal has also been removed from England's travel ban red list.
Turkey
Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, The Minister of Culture and Tourism of Turkey said that the country is ready to welcome back Brits once the UK has lifted its travel restrictions.
Holidaymakers would not need to be vaccinated in order to gain entry - however, you may still need to show proof of a negative Covid-19 PCR test result taken before travel.
Turkish authorities have said they will review the policy on entry requirements from April 15, including whether Brits would still need to show evidence of a negative PCR test result.
Iceland
From March 18, Iceland is reopening its borders to vaccinated Brits, with no need for quarantine or Covid testing. Those who can show proof of prior infection will also be exempt.
From May 1 the country will allow visitors from what it deems 'low risk areas' to be exempt from quarantine if they can show proof of a negative Covid-19 test result, according to the Icelandic government website.
Other destinations that could be on the cards
There are a number of destinations that could also be likely for summer holidays, such as Spain which is looking to test a Covid vaccine passport scheme, or Poland.
Meanwhile, Bulgaria recently revealed plans to reopen to foreign visitors from May (although it's not yet clear if Brits would be included in the initial wave) while France has started to ease restrictions for UK travellers.
Then of course there are destinations including Iceland and the Seychelles which have already said they will open to vaccinated tourists, which could pave the way for more holidays abroad.
Currently, it remains illegal to travel abroad for a holiday in the UK as part of national lockdowns. However, it's hoped that the government will unveil more details regarding reopening foreign travel in a review set to take place in April as part of England's lockdown roadmap.
