Ten key holiday destinations are letting UK travellers in without requiring them to isolate, albeit once some hoops have been jumped through.
News that the ten day period of isolation following return to England from amber list countries would be scrapped on July 19 was welcomed by hopeful holiday-makers this morning.
The rule change will also likely provide a much needed boost for the travel industry following a lean year.
However, many countries are still restricting access to people from the UK - in large part due to the highly infectious Delta variant which is romping across the country.

Here are some of the key holiday hotspots on the amber list that are letting Brits in without requiring them to isolate or quarantine.
Many of the entry requirements are complicated none-the-less, which is why we've spelled them out below.
Make sure to check the government website's of both countries before booking a trip.
The list only focuses on a few key destinations as there are 83 countries classified as amber.
Cyprus
Brits wanting to travel to the Mediterranean island must do a PCR test on arrival as well as having done one 72 hours before arrival, otherwise they have to quarantine.
The one in Cyprus takes three hours to deliver results and can be bought from covid-testcyprus.com.
Children under 12 are exempt from testing, as are Britons who can prove they’ve had two jabs of the Covid vaccine.
Morocco
Those wishing to fly into the north African country must show a negative PCR test or proof of being double jabbed at least 14 days before travel.
Those travelling by ferry will need to take a test during the journey.
Morocco only opened its border again on June 15 after a long and strict travel ban.
Spain
Hotly tipped to be welcoming in one of the largest contingents of British people following the travel rule update, Spain was allowing UK travellers in with no-restrictions.
It has recently introduced a requirement for a negative Covid-19 test or proof of vaccination.
Children under the age of 12 do not need to present either.
Greece
Another holiday favourite, Greece has strict testing requirements for entrants from Britain.
People must present either proof of a negative Covid-19 PCR test taken up to three days before arrival, a negative antigen test taken up to two days before or proof of being double jabbed two weeks before.
All those who can't produce one of the above must isolate.
France
Our Gallic neighbours have a slightly more complicated system.
While the double jabbed can enter freely, those who aren't must have an essential reason for travelling and show a negative PCR test taken 72 hours before arrival.
They'll also be required to isolate for seven days and can only leave once they test negative.
Croatia
Many people will want to travel to Croatia, which has a tempting blend of sun-drenched coastline and historical towns.
UK nationals travelling there must show proof of a negative antigen or PCR test taken up to 48 hours or 72 hours respectively before arrival.
Proof of vaccination or a certificate of recovery between 11 and 180 days prior will also do.
Portugal
Travel to Portugal, which was the first major destination on the UK's green travel list before being bumped off, is now a little trickier.
Only Brits who are fully vaccinated are welcome in without being subject to a 14-day quarantine.
Children under 18 are exempt from quarantine if they are travelling with a fully vaccinated adult.
Malta
As of the end of June, all UK arrivals in Malta have had to show that they've been fully jabbed at least two weeks before arrival.
Kids aged between 5 and 11 can show they've tested negative within three days of arrival, while under 5s are off the hook altogether.
However, those aged between 12 and 18 must be double jabbed to enter.
Poland
Entry into the eastern European country is free and easy for the double jabbed, so long as their last vaccine was 14 days before travelling.
However, Brits who aren't must quarantine for seven days on arrival before taking a Covid test.
Those who don't want to pay for a PCR test can wait until day ten to be released.
Germany
After Angela Merkel slapped a two week quarantine period on British travellers last month, Berlin has eased the restrictions.
Now fully vaccinated Brits can enter without having to quarantine.
Unvaccinated children under 12 years of age are allowed to enter Germany if they present proof of a negative test result and travel with at least one fully vaccinated parent.
There are some holiday hotspots which do currently have isolation measures which can't be skipped, even if you've had both vaccines.
Those entering Italy must isolate for five days on arrival, in a bid to keep the Delta variant from sweeping through the country.
Some countries have gone further and implemented outright bans on all travellers from the UK.
Austria won't be welcoming in UK travellers anytime soon while long-standing travel bans into the US and Canada remain in force.
