On Moderation
It does annoy me when older people think that younger people have a year of their lives damaged for their own protection. It is to protect 50+ and a small number of under 50s with specific health conditions. Some acceptance that younger people have taken a hit for the greater good would be nice.
Plenty of younger Brits had sufficient holidays in the UK as children to last a life time. The UK is nice for short breaks but for the majority its poor option for a main holiday due to the climate and lack of new cultural experiences and the high cost and low quality of accommodation.
I am very confident that two doses will not be mandatory for several short haul destinations this summer. Cyprus is focusing on older (richer) Brits but other countries will settle for younger (poorer) Brits and set their requirements accordingly. My recommendations for short haul holiday options this summer are Montenegro, Albania and Macedonia. They will try to grab a larger section of the market this summer and target young and middle aged Brits. I think Spain is likely to accept people who have had their first dose.
Spain, Greece (and I think Portugal too) will also allow people who haven't been vaccinated into their country provided they test negative for covid.
