@SimonCalder Two rules apply for a UK passport for a trip to EU (except Ireland): No more than 10 years old on day of departure; look at the issue date for this one. At least three months remaining on the intended day of return; look at the expiry date for that one.

@SimonCalder UK inbound tourism slumping compared with EU. More barriers to visitors every week. The promotional budget has just been cut by 42%. Now the chair of VisitBritain, Nick de Bois, tells me: “Government and in particular the Treasury just doesn’t get tourism”

@SimonCalder Tourism Alliance @tourismsvoice says: “We are poor as far as cost competitiveness is concerned: the World Economic Forum ranks the UK as 113th out of 118 countries for the price competitiveness of our tourism offer. The recent ETA and visa fee increases just compound the problem.

@SimonCalder Gvt spokesperson: “The UK is one of the most visited countries in the world. International tourism drives billions into our economy. We are supporting the continued growth of this industry to help meet our ambition to welcome 50mn international visitors a year to the UK by 2030.”
