Turkey has announced the double vaccinated UK holidaymakers do not need proof of a negative PCR test to enter the popular destination.
The relaxation of the Covid rules and Turkey's removal from the travel red list should attract many visitors to resorts of Antalya, Dalaman and Izmir with flights from a variety of UK airports.
The Turkish Tourist Board stated: “Turkey is ready and excited to welcome back travellers from across the UK this month and beyond. With no requirement for PCR tests, and following our removal from the UK government red list, travelling to Turkey couldn’t be easier."
Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, added: "Turkey is one of our most popular destinations for customers who want some late-summer sunshine, an October break or some winter sun, so this really is fantastic news for UK holidaymakers.
"Since restarting flights and holidays to Turkey from all of our UK bases last month we have experienced enormous demand and this will only increase further on the back of such positive news.
"Additionally, it is another welcome step on the road to reopening international properly. We urge other overseas Governments to follow the Turkish Government in allowing UK holidaymakers to reap the benefits of the vaccine rollout.
"We have been speaking to the Turkish Government about the impact of costly testing burdens on hardworking customers and families, so we applaud this decision."
TUI is also resuming flights to Antalya, Bodrum, Dalaman and Izmir.
