Barbados Set For £270 Million Cash Boost From British Tourists Following Inclusion On UK Green List
Brits are set to splash out a whopping £270 million on trips to Barbados this year, new analysis has revealed.
While many holidaymakers missed out on a summer break abroad last year, new data suggests more than 170,000 Brits will jet off to Barbados once travel restrictions are eased.
The prediction by travel health experts Practio follows the news that the UK government has added Barbados to its green travel list meaning Brits won’t have to quarantine upon their return from holiday.
The forecast will be welcome news for businesses across the island with UK tourists set to start entering the country from Wednesday, June 30.
Analysing 10 years of historic Office for National Statistics data, looking at every single trip made out of the country by UK citizens, researchers at Practio have been able to forecast the holiday destinations set to benefit the most from reduced travel restrictions.
With traditionally popular European tourist destinations including Spain and France requiring Brits to quarantine for 10 days upon their return, Barbados is in line for a bumper summer with spend from British tourists set to top the forecasted £271,122,898.
On average, sun-starved Brits are expected to spend £1,524 per visit.
Commenting on the research, Dr Jonas Nilsen, managing director and co-founder of Practio said:
“We wanted to pull this exhaustive research together to understand UK travel trends over the past ten years, but also to give us an idea of what this means for travel in the future. Travel was mostly out of the question in 2020 and many of us are hoping for its return later in 2021. By predicting future trends, we can better equip travellers and businesses that thrive off tourism by helping them to prepare for what’s to come and how they can make the most of Brits’ travel habits.
“It’s also been great to see some of the emerging trends and how travel is changing, we’re seeing the go-to destinations start to change with more money being spent in countries further afield, which should be a good sign for the future of the travel industry beyond the pandemic.”

In America, the black people are again fighting for the vote. Jim Crowe is alive and kicking!
“Third World” is in the eye of the beholder. That is a white man’s description. I do not accept their definitions of ANYTHING.
I don’t need skyscrappers and concrete jungles to enjoy life. In fact, I do not like them. I like simple island life.
You, Wily Coyote, have nothing but contempt for Barbados and Barbadians. Never have I seen you acknowledge one good thing about us.
But you yourself, Mr. BIG MAN, don’t seem wily enough to be happy. Happy people are not negative all the time. They see the positives as well as the negatives.
Many of us are happy.
POOR you!
One would be tempted to think he blames us for the road runner’s escape!

My Barbarian ancestors pre date any island black population so mind your p’s and Q’s. Have more love of this island than you’ll ever know, just disgusted since INDEPENDENCE the country has been on a slow downward spiral which has now accelerated out of control.
Whose to blame, some know, most however are blind to the truth.
Modern day slavery, oppression, discriminaion and racism are all alive and well on the island but most live in their little make believe word and pretend that it’s not so….fooling themselves because they fool no one else, and ignoring what others are experiencing..one example….government colluding with evil greedy hoteliers to deny hotel workers their pension, then dipping into the pension fund to pay some and not all…racist sandy land STEALING employees money……and it was covered up…
an ugly situation..which makes them look UNEDUCATED but they don’t think so….pretenders.
government colluding with evil greedy hoteliers to deny hotel workers their SEVERANCE, then dipping into the pension fund to pay some and not all…racist sandy land STEALING employees money……and it was covered up…..those are only 2 of thousands of examples..
The Ministry of Health need to tell their ignorant, wicked little Slaves that when visitors call BEFORE leaving their destinations about Covid protocols regarding if they can leave their rooms and move around the hotel properties during quaranine to STOP LYING TO THEM…they are telling them YES when it’s really no….little LIARS…it’s causing people to have to pay unnecessary fines because of bad information from goddamn IDIOTS…
if any of my relatives had gotten caught up in that deceitful shit ya would see..
