Caravan parks and B&Bs to suffer as pre Christmas holidays are BANNED

1st November 2020

Caravan park owners, along with Bed and Breakfast sites in Southport are being forced to tighten their belts once again as they brace for a country-wide holiday ban.

From Thursday, holidays both inside England and abroad will be banned until 2 December, as the government tries to stop a second wave of coronavirus from spreading.

The government has also said people must not travel to second homes either in the UK or abroad. 

“Sadly… our message is people should stay at home,” Cabinet Minister Michael Gove told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show.

Those on domestic holidays in England don’t need to rush home yet however and they will be allowed to see out the remainder of their holidays.

But the government warns that – because of the new coronavirus restrictions – restaurants and leisure venues will be closed from Thursday.

A government statement said: “Those currently on a domestic holiday will be allowed to finish their holidays, but are still subject to the requirements in England not to go out without a reasonable excuse”.
