Uncertainty around holidays abroad continues as the government's travel traffic light system can frequently change.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapp's latest announcement saw Croatia, Bulgaria, Taiwan, and Hong Kong added to the green list.
Yet a large proportion of destinations are at risk of being moved to the amber list at any time - categorised under the 'green watchlist'.

Mr Shapps also confirmed that the Balaeric Islands - including Ibiza, Menorca and Majorca - were to be put back on the amber list.
While Cuba, Indonesia, Myanmar and Sierra Leone were moved to the red travel list.
As announcements on the list can affect whether you will be able to go abroad or not, it's important to keep up to date with the latest changes.
Here, we take a look at when we can expect the next travel list announcement from Mr Shapps.
When is the next review?
The current travel traffic light system was unveiled when a ban on foreign holidays was lifted on May 17 as part of the lockdown roadmap.
Destinations are categorised as green, amber, or red, depending on the severity and risk of coronavirus.
Despite now being in July, the green list is still limited, with a large proportion on the 'green watchlist' - meaning they're at risk to moving to the amber list.
Reviews usually take place every three weeks.
Announcements often come on a Thursday, however the latest one came on Wednesday, July 14.
The next review is therefore expected on the week commencing August 2, with the announcement most likely on either Wednesday, August 4 or Thursday, August 5.
They usually come late in the afternoon or early evening.
Isolation rules for fully vaccinated
As of July 19, the government no longer advises against international travel to amber list countries.
Also from this date, UK residents who have had both doses of the coronavirus vaccine will be able to travel to amber list countries without the need to self-isolate for 10 days on their return to England.
Mr Shapps clarified that 'fully vaccinated' means 14 days have passed since the final dose of the vaccine.
Travellers will still be required to take a test three days before returning, the pre-departure test, demonstrating they’re negative before they travel, and a PCR test on or before day two, but they will no longer be required to take a day eight test.
The rules mean the requirements for green and amber list countries are the same.
