With the country now having completed the transition phase for leaving the EU, holidaymakers heading to the Continent are now potentially faced with longer wait times at airports, curbs on duty-free imports, and the return of data roaming charges.
From today, Britons will be met with additional checks at EU airports, which the European Tourism Association has said could lead to an additional 90 seconds per passenger at passport control – or an extra five hours per planeload.
UK travellers are also faced with a raft of new fees and charges, including higher travel insurance premiums to cover the outgoing European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) scheme, larger mobile phone bills (although some networks have pledged to continue offering free roaming for the time being), and more costs and complications for those travelling with pets.
However, there are still a number of aspects of European travel that have not changed: financial protection against the failure of holiday operators will continue to be offered by the UK government, and British motorists are still allowed to drive without applying for an International Driver Permit.
The effect of the new travel arrangements is unlikely to be felt for the next few weeks, with many European countries having barred entry for UK travellers due to the new strain of coronavirus discovered last month.
Last night saw a number of European countries – including Italy, Portugal, Norway and Poland – place new restrictions on travellers arriving from the UK in effect from January 1, with exemptions only for those with essential reasons to travel. These changes come because the UK now falls outside the EU, and is therefore no seen as an international destination under EU-wide Covid-19 restrictions.

The best places to travel to when we can again? 20 experts reveal all
Reflecting on the year that is about to end may be practical and purposeful – and there has certainly never been another like it – but looking ahead is what most of us want to do now, particularly when it comes to travel, writes Lizzie Frainier.
Clearly, no one knows exactly what 2021 will bring, nor how different it will be to the whirlwind of the past 12 months, but this Twixmas period is as good as any to become a dreamer and wish for a turn for the better. In contrast to the difficult recent past – and present for that matter – we can justifiably view the future more optimistically, dappled with possibility, hope and surprise.
UK flight bans: Which countries have imposed restrictions and for how long?
More than 70 countries have imposed restrictions on UK arrivals due to fears over a new Covid variant. However, some are replacing their blanket ban with a requirement to carry evidence of a negative test.

Scotland reports more than 2,500 new coronavirus cases as mutant strain 'accelerates spread'
Nicola Sturgeon has urged people in Scotland not to visit each other's homes after confirming 2,539 new Covid cases today.
2/2 The vaccine cavalry is on way, offering real hope for 2021 - but with this new variant, the next few weeks may be the most dangerous we’ve faced since Mar/April. We must act together to suppress it, to save lives and protect the NHS. 🙏 stick with it.
The UK as a whole saw 53,285 new cases reported today, as well as 613 new deaths.

Singapore to block entry from South Africa
The Singaporean authorities are set to ban visitors from South Africa over concerns that a new, more contagious variant of the coronavirus could be imported to the city state.
From January 4, all foreign nationals who have been in South Africa within 14 days prior to arrival in Singapore will be denied entry, while Singaporeans returning home will have to take a PCR test and self-isolate for 14 days.

'NYE in Marrakech was quieter than usual, but hopes are high for 2021'
Tara Stevens, Telegraph Travel's Marrakech expert, reports on the mood in Morocco's Red City:
Marrakech is always rather festive for New Year, especially among Brits seeking a more exotic experience. Less so after flights between the UK and Morocco were suspended on December 20, and the whole city shut down under an 8pm curfew on New Year’s Eve itself.
Traditionally glamourous suppers held in riad courtyards were replaced by a rather more sedate glass of fizz as the sun went down over the Atlas, but there was still a frisson of excitement around the end of this annus horribilis and, ever hearteningly, the promise of sunshine in the morning.

UK-India flights to resume on January 8
Air travel between the UK and some cities in India is set to resume next week after clearance from the Indian government's Ministry of Civil Aviation, although flights will be restricted to just 15 a week.
Airlines have also been limited to just four of the country's airports: Delhi, Mumbai, Bengalaru and Hyderabad.
Flights were initially suspended by the Indian government on December 21 after a mutated strain of coronavirus was detected in the UK; 29 cases of the new variant have since been detected in India.

Kirstie Allsopp: 'When I was starting out on TV, I would pop over to New York for the weekend'
The presenter and property expert speaks to Telegraph Travel about packing, childhood holidays and her love for Istanbul
I have fond memories of childhood holidays
...such as visiting north Cornwall, the South of France and the Isle of Wight, where my grandmother was born. My father was a dab hand at building sandcastles and would take a proper garden spade away with him. He was proud that his sandcastles survived the battering of the waves.
Some years ago, I taught English in India
Before my career got under way. It was in a tiny village two hours from Bangalore in a region known for gold, mangoes and cashew nuts. Back then, Bangalore wasn’t the extraordinary Silicon Valley of India city that it is now. It was much quieter. India’s diversity, colour, landscapes and people are so appealing – it’s like a continent in its own right.
My travelling habits have changed since becoming a mother
Now, I tend to return to the same places. You develop a relationship with destinations and want your children to share the same experience. Also, when I was single and starting out on TV, I was earning quite a lot so would even pop over to New York for the weekend. It seemed perfectly normal but it isn’t something I did once the children were born.

Cruising into 2021
Jane Archer, Telegraph Travel's cruise expert, lists the things she's most excited for this year:
"Of all the gin joints...” I’m practising my best Bogart for Anderson’s, a bar on P&O’s new mega-ship Iona that’s serving Marabelle gin, created specially for her by Salcombe Gin and made in the world’s first distillery at sea. Better still (pun intended!), gin lovers can learn to make their favourite tipple as Iona sails back and forth to the Norwegian fjords from her Southampton home.
Tradewind Voyages’ new tall ship Golden Horizon, a near replica of the magnificent 1913-built France II, is sailing from Britain to Norway and the Baltic starting May but I’d wait until she lets the – er – tradewinds catch her sails for a journey to Australia. Sri Lanka to Malaysia with sun, sea, the Andaman Islands and acres of billowing canvas. Who says romance is dead?
Back in Europe, Konopiste Castle, home of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand whose assassination in 1914 triggered war, is top of my wish list as CroisiEurope sails the little-known Vltava river next summer. It’s a veritable Bohemian rhapsody, with Dvorak’s birthplace in Melnik and Prague among highlights.
Uniworld’s new Italian masterpiece, the river ship La Venezia, is cruising the Venice Lagoon and dipping a toe in the Po, so to speak, so folk can head to Bologna, home of the eponymous sauce. Sign me up for the free pasta-making class.

Rise in aviation accident fatalities in 2020, despite fewer flights
Although the coronavirus crisis saw a dramatic global reduction in the number of flights in 2020, the year still saw a rise in the number of fatalities caused by aviation disasters.
Out of 39 accidents over the course of the year, five fatal incidences together claimed the lives of 299 people, according to research by aviation consultancy To70.
It's a marked increase on 2019 when, despite witnessing a far greater number of accidents (86), of which eight were fatal, 257 people lost their lives.
The high death toll in 2020 largely stems from Ukraine International Airlines flight 752, which was shot down over Iran after being mistaken for a US warplane, with 176 fatalities.

Jamaica extends UK flight ban
A travel ban on flight routes between the UK and Jamaica will remain in place until January 31, the Jamaican government has announced.
Anyone who has been in the UK within 14 days prior to travel will be prohibited from entering the Caribbean island nation, which has declared the ban in response to the new mutated strain of Covid-19.
Two special one-way flights are have been scheduled for those needing to return to the UK: one will depart Kingston Airport at 6.30pm (EST) later today; the other will take off from Montego Bay at the same time on January 2.

Around the world in 80 objects: the tourism icons you must see in your lifetime
It is more than a decade since Neil MacGregor gave his highly entertaining series of radio talks, A History of the World in 100 Objects, writes Nick Trend. He demonstrated with incisive brilliance how individual treasures – both famous and obscure – can shed light on the past.
Taking inspiration from his remarkable achievement, we at Telegraph Travel began to ponder how objects can also give us insights into the habits, preoccupations and cultures of the people and places we experience when we travel. So, to start the New Year, we have developed our own version of MacGregor’s idea. We have gone for 80 objects rather than 100 – it seems a more resonant number for a tour around the world. But we have drawn our parameters as widely and we will try to cover as many destinations as we can in the coming weeks and months.
The French government announced that it was bringing forward by two hours a the nighttime curfew in 15 regions to help combat the coronavirus, as infections remain high.
The 15 of France's 101 departments affected by the switch to a curfew beginning at 6pm rather than 8pm include the Les Alpes-Maritimes department where the Mediterranean city of Nice is located.
The other areas are concentrated in the east of the country and Paris has, for now, been spared the additional restriction.

Taiwan updates requirements for UK passengers who arrived between December 13 and 22
Any passengers who arrived in Taiwan between December 13 and 22, 2020 who have spent time in the UK in the previous 14 days, will be contacted by Taiwan’s CDC or the local health authority to take a COVID-19 test at the end of their quarantine period, or immediately if they have already left quarantine.
This is further to the fact that from today all direct passenger flights between the UK and Taiwan will be suspended and foreign nationals are not permitted to enter Taiwan (with limited exceptions).

US hotels begin offering COVID-19 tests on arrival
A number of hotels in the United States are adding COVID-19 tests to the usual amenities on offer, according to NBC News. The tests are offered in partnership with local labs and medical companies, and for the most part they come at the expense of the guest.
For example, the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas offers a test with results promised within 24 hours. Discounts are available to those who also book specific spa treatments. Elsewhere, at the Nobu Hotel in Palo Alto, California, private tests carried out by medical professionals are offered.

The view from Edinburgh on New Year's Eve
Destination expert Linda Macdonald writes:
Last Hogmanay Edinburgh city centre residents had to apply for a pass to get to their own homes, visitor overcrowding prompting yet another discussion about the negative impact of tourism on Edinburgh.
But this has been a Hogmanay John Knox would have been proud of, the streets eerily quiet, the city sparkling in the remains of a light covering of snow rather than the usual hectic glare of the big wheel in Princes Street Gardens. With pubs and restaurants shuttered the good people of the city cooried up at home, urged to watch a previously recorded online light show of drones over well-kent landmarks.
The quiet endured into the evening, but just before midnight a gravity-defying trickle of people worked their way up Calton Hill, traditional grandstand seat for watching the fireworks in a party that in normal times would continue through to the late winter dawn. Perhaps they hoped there would be fireworks, somewhere, but in the end it was more damp squibs than personal pyrotechnics; the nearest real fireworks were in Stirling. They melted away soon after midnight, while a few hundred people gathering to sing and dance by the Castle were dispersed by police.
However one Hogmanay tradition did survive last night: a lone piper at the castle played ‘Auld Lang Syne’ as we wondered at the new significance of Burns’ words: ‘And there’s a hand my trusty friend! And give me a hand o’thine! Perhaps next year when these days are truly ‘old long since’.

Beast from the East fears as forecasters warn of 'sudden stratospheric warming' in next two weeks
Britain could be hit by a new ‘Beast from the East’ in the next fortnight as forecasters warn of ‘sudden stratospheric warming’ above the Arctic.
Temperatures could hit -10 degrees celsius, roads will become treacherously icy and snow is expected to fall across the country, as police warn against all but essential travel.
The British skiers of Verbier: ‘The Swiss should offer us compensation’
‘I’ve been skiing in Switzerland since I first learnt in Wengen in 1972 – but I won’t be going back any time soon.” The father-of-three returned from a small, family-friendly resort in Valais on Christmas Eve, after becoming trapped when Swiss authorities introduced a retroactive 10-day quarantine for UK passport-holders on December 20. According to some not entirely accurate reports, it prompted hundreds of British tourists in Verbier to head over the French border under cover of darkness, rather than be stuck in their hotel rooms over Christmas.
The father, who wished not to be named, said he’d taken his family away for some fresh air and sun as a treat for his children, who had had a difficult lockdown. They left Gatwick on December 20, flying straight into the eye of the storm. After just one day’s skiing, he was informed of the quarantine by text message, at which point their entire Christmas holiday came crashing down.
skiing - While the idea of being 'stuck' in a nice hotel room in the Alps with room service might sound like a treat, the reality is very different
“I picked up the kids from ski school, grabbed some food from the supermarket, and returned to our room at the bed and breakfast. I thought it was a pain, but I’m a law-abiding citizen and toe the line.”
But with three children aged 10 to 15, stuck in a room they’d booked until December 27 in a country that required them to quarantine until December 30, and with no way of getting meals other than breakfast, the situation soon became untenable.
Is herd immunity through vaccination the key to unlock Britain – and how long will it take?
It’s the million dollar question: How long will it take for the UK vaccination campaign to restore our lives to something approaching normal?
Unfortunately, there is no simple answer but it helps to think about vaccination in terms of two objectives: cutting hospitalisation rates to manageable levels and creating “herd immunity”, the point at which the virus has nowhere left to run.
These are separate goals and it is on the first that the government is currently focused. If it can use vaccination to reduce hospitalisations to the extent they no longer threaten to overwhelm the NHS and other essential services, it can start to think about lifting restrictions.
Cautious optimism defined most Singaporeans’ New Year’s Eve fetes this year, with community cases in the low single digits, vaccinations starting to roll out and life returning to some semblance of normal. All over the island, people are celebrating in homes and restaurants, which since 28 December can host groups of up to eight enthusiastic diners. At home, I serve a festive feast of roast chicken and lashings of champagne to gleeful family amidst a backdrop of live-streamed countdown performances, and at midnight, we watch fireworks explode colourfully over Singapore’s residential heartlands as revellers loudly bid farewell to 2020 from their high-rise flats. In the hours that follow, an unusually prolonged – and symbolically cleansing – downpour drenches the country, promising, hopefully, a fresh start in the new year.

Staycations 'off the table until March' as coronavirus shuts hotels nationwide
Staycations could be off the table until March at the earliest with foreign holidays even further behind, experts warned, as tier restrictions mean the vast majority of hotels in Britain are closed, report Sam Meadows and Rachel Cranshaw.
Hotels must shut their doors in both tiers three and four, while restrictions on movement prohibit overnight stays in a bid to curb the current coronavirus spike.
And an industry expert has warned that it could be March before holidaymakers can even think about getting away again.

“I’m ready to pack my bags for a stay at a chic new ryokan hotel”
Danielle Demetriou, Telegraph Travel's Japan expert, writes:
I’d hate to jinx things. But after months of Japan’s closed borders, near-evangelical mask-wearing and simmering Covid levels, it’s suddenly hard to keep up with hotel openings – a sign that momentum is starting to build again ahead of the summer’s delayed Tokyo Olympic Games. The hyperactive futurism of Japan’s mega-cities’ ever-changing skylines will always turn heads.
But I have my eye on rural Japan – in particular, a raft of sleek, modern renovations of centuries-old wooden properties (neatly coinciding with Unesco’s recent recommendation of Japan’s traditional architectural techniques as an important cultural asset). I can’t wait to check into Azumi Setoda when it opens in March – the debut hotel of Adrian Zecha’s new Japanese ryokan brand with Naru Developments. Located on a tiny island in the Seto Inland Sea, it’s housed in a 140-year-old compound renovated by architect Shiro Miura. Azumi is one of several projects inspired by local communities and regional revitalisation (a hot topic in rapidly ageing – and emptying – rural Japan).
Similarly, Setouchi Cominca Stayas has launched a network of five sleekly renovated centuries-old kominka farmhouses in the Setouchi region. With many other projects planned in idyllic nature spots, it’s clear that 2021 visitors would do well to add rural escapes to the usual hotspots. And perhaps the more remote the better.

Barcelona's NYE celebrations go up in flames
It was an inauspicious start to 2021 for residents in Barcelona last night after New Year's Eve fireworks set fire to a hill overlooking the city.
Firefighters were quick to tackle the blaze on Montjuïc – home to the city's 17th-century military fortress – which started when a number of bushes were set alight by festive pyrotechnics organised by the city council for the benefit of residents confined to their homes.

Norway to lift ban on UK flights from tomorrow – but most Britons still can't travel
The Norwegian government has given the green light for flights to and from the UK to resume from January 2, although few Britons will be permitted entry.
Norway, along with more than 40 other countries, shut down flight routes with the UK after a mutant strain of coronavirus was discovered in late December, but the Scandinavian country will be the first to lift the ban after introducing mandatory Covid testing for everyone entering the country.
"If this strain should spread in Norway, it will probably mean a full lockdown of society," said Prime Minister Erna Solberg.
But with the UK now out of the EU, a wider ban on British travellers still applies, with exceptions only for those travelling for essential reasons, or to visit close family members.

“I’m so excited to see Madrid full of life once again”
Annie Bennett, Telegraph Travel's Madrid expert, writes:
The new year is understandably going to get off to a slow start in Spain, but it looks like things will get moving around Easter – fingers crossed. In Madrid, the Mandarin Oriental Ritz Madrid is finally set to welcome guests in March after a top-to-toe refurbishment that will bring a bit of sparkle back to the capital. Quique Dacosta, one of Spain’s most exciting chefs and a favourite of mine, is in charge of the food, so the rather fusty vibe it used to have will have disappeared, no doubt.
I didn’t make it to Mallorca in 2020 but it has plenty to draw me back in 2021. I am intrigued by Hit Mallorca just outside Palma, which will have a restaurant headed up by multi-Michelin-starred Basque chef Martín Berasategui, as well as club and performance spaces. Sounds like you would have a pretty good night out without even trying.
Rural tourism has been doing very well in Spain during the pandemic and I’m planning to stay in some gorgeous little hotels in remote parts of the countryside while tackling a stretch or two of one of the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. It is a Holy or Jacobean Year in 2021, which happens when the feast of St James, July 25, falls on a Sunday. One perk of this is that all your sins are absolved if you enter Santiago cathedral through a special door that is only open in Holy Years – the perfect way to banish all the bad habits of the past year.

New image shows upcoming theme park dubbed 'Britain's Disneyland'
The developers behind the eagerly anticipated London Resort in Kent have released a new rendering showing their proposed theme park, which has been greeted as Britain's answer to Disneyland.
Plans for the site on the Swanscombe Peninsula, between Dartford and Gravesend, have now been submitted for approval in the hope that work on the project can soon begin, accompanied by the promise that it will generate £50 billion for the national economy over the next 25 years.
The London Resort, Kent
The theme park is slated to open in 2024, and is expected to become one of the UK's largest single-site employers by 2038.
The park will be divided in zones such as The Studios, The Woods, The Kingdom, The Isles, The Jungle, Starport and High Street. More than 50 rides and attractions will be spread throughout, including eight rollercoasters, a 2,000-seat theatre and a nightclub.

30 spa holidays for a happier, healthier new year
After nearly a year of being grounded, trips taken from here on have to count on so many levels – personally, professionally, psychologically and ecologically, writes Suzanne Duckett. Whether you admit it or not, the enforced slow down and more time spent with yourself, your partner or your family has unearthed some home truths.
Lack of routine has led, for many, to comfort eating, sporadic exercise, wine being cracked open most evenings and an increased dependency on digital technology. This will be the year to reset and redress the meaning of “well-travelled” in every sense when the world finally reopens to us.
All of Europe has been struck by rising coronavirus infection rates in recent weeks and months, although the situation in the UK has been deemed severe enough for other countries to close their borders to British travellers.
Here's a overview comparing the UK's seven-day case rate with those of France, Spain and Italy. The graphs give a good indication how each country has coped with the Covid outbreak over the course of the year.
France: 138.7 per 100,000
Spain: 156.9 per 100,000
Italy: 161.9 per 100,000
UK: 451.5 per 100,000

Expert view: This Oxford vaccine victory puts us on track for holidays by spring
Could we be starting to travel relatively normally and taking overseas holidays again by Easter? It might sound optimistic after so many recent setbacks, says Nick Trend, but if everything continues to go to plan with vaccination, especially now the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab is approved, I think it’s a reasonable bet.
Here’s why. Our current anxiety is - understandably - wound up by the new coronavirus variant, a soaring infection rate and the commensurate increase in the number of hospitalisations and deaths. It is these figures which are driving the new tier restrictions and which also resulted in the latest bans imposed by so many countries on visitors from Britain. So travel - and life generally - is likely to remain highly restricted for some weeks to come.
But a return to relative normality will not depend on infection levels, but on the hospitalisation and death rates. Even if the infections remain high, it would be very hard to justify restricting travel and other freedoms if fewer and fewer people are needing treatment and even fewer are dying from Covid-19.
Thailand bans eating and drinking on flights after Covid surge
Airlines in Thailand have been banned from selling food and drink on domestic flights after a sharp spike in coronavirus cases in late December.
The Thai government has also ordered that passengers should not be given newspapers, magazines or pamphlets while travelling, and has doubled down on safety measures such as screening and social distancing in an effort to halt the virus's spread.
The new outbreak has prompted local lockdowns as officials struggle to contain infections, with many fearing that the situation will worsen due to widespread travel for New Year celebrations.
