With the travel industry taking tentative steps towards re-opening, there are some excellent deals to be found for summer holidays.

Most of the below destinations are on both the list of countries exempt from quarantine upon return to England and the list of countries where the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) is no longer advising against all non-essential travel.
New developments are occurring all the time, however, so check the FCO advice before booking to check the current status of your chosen destination.
