Compared with October 2021, international travel is in pretty good shape this month. Some strict Covid rules still apply – keeping China off limits to tourists, and this week forcing an “Inca cruise” to bypass Peru. But bear in mind a year ago Peru was on the UK “red list”, requiring returning holidaymakers to enter hotel quarantine at a cost of £2,285 for solo travellers.
The summer of 2022 was supposed to be the big bounce back, with holidaymakers making up for lost sunshine and families previously separated by distance and coronavirus travel restrictions getting together.
