Johnson calls on international tourists to visit UK

Embattled prime minister, Boris Johnson, has called on international tourists to visit the UK and enjoy the sights and sounds of “one of the most open countries in Europe”.


As testing and quarantine restrictions end for fully vaccinated visitors, the UK is ready to welcome visitors from around the globe for a year of events showcasing the breadth of culture, creativity and innovation on offer in the country, he said.

Events include her majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and Unboxed: Creativity in the UK.

It comes ahead of a new VisitBritain £10 million international marketing campaign targeting the most valuable visitor markets of Europe and the USA which, will launch in February.

Johnson said: “Thanks to the phenomenal success of our booster campaign and the extraordinary efforts of the public, the UK is officially one of the most open countries in Europe and ready to welcome visitors from across the globe.

“Now is a fantastic time to book a trip and enjoy the best the UK has to offer.”

The travel sector has been highly critical of the government throughout the past two years of border closures, quarantine and testing, so it remains to be seen how the latest initiative will be received.

Transport secretary, Grant Shapps, said: “We made the right calls at the right time and thanks to our vaccine and booster rollout it’s paying off – allowing us to safely remove nearly all Covid-19 travel restrictions for vaccinated travellers.

“We already have one of the most open economies in Europe with the least restrictions, and because of these changes we now have a travel sector to match it.

“This final step in our stable and safe full return to international travel is a major boost for UK tourism, setting Britain free ahead of the crucial half term and spring holiday season.” 

VisitBritain’s multi-million-pound campaign will spotlight cities across the UK including London, Edinburgh and Cardiff which have been hit hard by the lack of international visitors.

VisitBritain chief executive, Sally Balcombe, said: “We know there is pent up demand for travel and our priority is to build back demand for Britain and visitor spending as quickly as possible, competing hard for international visitors who contribute billions to our economy.

“As well as messages of welcome and reassurance, we’re shining the spotlight on our vibrant and diverse cities.

“Telling the stories of our renowned heritage with a modern twist, our buzzing contemporary culture and innovative food and drink scene, we are showing that Britain is packed full of fresh and exciting experiences to come and see today.”

VisitBritain’s campaign will build on the government’s ambitious Tourism Recovery Plan published in June which aims to get domestic and international tourism back to pre-pandemic levels a year faster than independent forecasts predict.

The government claims to have backed tourism, hospitality and leisure organisations through the pandemic with more than £37 billion in funding and support.

This includes the ongoing cut to VAT, furlough and 100 per cent business rates relief for leisure, retail and hospitality businesses which have saved thousands of jobs and prevented many business closures.

The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme at its peak supported 87 per cent of hospitality and entertainment businesses and a UK-wide VAT cut for the tourism sectors from 20 per cent to five per cent was in place until September.

It will remain at 12.5 per cent until the end of March to provide ongoing support for businesses.

The coastline of the Cinque Terre was striking past times floods inward Oct 2011 , which severely damaged both the resort of Monterosso in addition to the picturesque hamlet of Vernazza (featured on the home page of ). The other resorts inward the expanse volition go opened upwards for trouble concern equally commons this twelvemonth , though walkers would go well-advised to cheque latest updates or band ahead to ascertain the province of footpaths. While in that place are hopes that the primary coastal trail volition go opened upwards past times Easter 2012 , the harm to the settlements may accept longer to repair.

Festa della Bruna , Matera
On a brighter banker's complaint , L'Aquila , ruined past times the fell earthquake of half dozen Apr 2009 , is slow pulling itself dorsum together.

Hopefully earlier equally good long L'Aquila volition provide to tourist itineraries in addition to visitors tin produce their flake to revive the local economy.

Where to become inward 2012
Every twelvemonth to a greater extent than tourists watch Matera , inward the Basilicata portion (reachable from Bari Airport). This is somewhere I'd advise visiting earlier visitor numbers grow yet further. At introduce the town is good equipped for classy tourism , amongst or in addition to thus fantabulous hotels in addition to B&Bs housed inward the town's famous caves. This is i identify where tourism has had a beneficial lawsuit , bringing the abandoned cave districts to life without the harm of excessive development. Although it is hot inward summertime , a expert fourth dimension to watch is the outset of July , when you lot tin witness the remarkable in addition to colourful Festa della Bruna , a deeply-felt festival which takes over the town.

If the cave attractions of Matera are only equally good developed for you lot , a completely undeveloped version tin go institute inward Sicily. The pretty Baroque town of Scicli has a ruined church building on a loma , in addition to rows of abandoned cave dwellings inward cliffs which intrepid visitors tin explore. Rejuvenation projects are at best making dull progress here. You won't divulge much inward the agency of tourist facilities , but the town has an fantabulous hotel (Hotel Novecento) , a cave-restaurant , a duet of pocket-size museums in addition to or in addition to thus fine architecture.

Modica chocolate
Scicli is i of the Baroque towns rebuilt after a devastating Sicilian earthquake inward 1693. The towns - Scicli , Ragusa , Modica , Noto - of the Val di Noto , along amongst ancient seaside port Siracusa , are incorporated inward a UNESCO listing for their cultural importance.

Local specialities include the marvellous chocolate of Modica.  A novel drome due to opened upwards at Comiso , close Ragusa , volition actually position the towns on the tourist map , in addition to thus I'd recommend visiting patch you lot can. Fans of Inspector Montalbano , a fictional detective featured inward a pop TV serial – of which ii episodes stimulate got in addition to thus far been aired past times the BBC - volition recognise the scenery of the towns.

La Maddalena
Italia has groovy beaches all around the mainland in addition to islands , but many of the around renowned are on the isle of Sardinia. Somehow Italian in addition to un-Italian at the same fourth dimension , this isle has pop seaside resorts such equally picturesque Alghero , the fine art in addition to civilization of the upper-case alphabetic lineament Cagliari , or in addition to thus fascinating towns in addition to archaeological sites for explorers leaving the beaten rails , in addition to of course of education the famous turquoise seas surrounding Sardinia in addition to its pocket-size offshore islands. Visiting the archipelago of La Maddalena (easily reachable from the drome at Olbia) , I was impressed past times the lovely unspoilt beaches - in addition to past times how empty they were inward September , amongst the conditions yet hot.

One of the around interesting exhibitions of the twelvemonth inward Italia volition go the display of historic documents from the Vatican's surreptitious archive at the Capitoline Museums inward Rome. The Lux inward Arcana exhibition runs from March to September 2012 in addition to is probable to include letters from Mary Queen of Scots in addition to Henry VIII amidst its treasures.

When to go
As Italians to a greater extent than ofttimes than non vacation en masse inward July in addition to August , when the country's resorts are packed , expensive in addition to uncomfortably hot , I recommend visiting Italia inward May , June or September for the best vacation experience. Earlier or later on inward the twelvemonth tin go expert equally good , peculiarly for cultural in addition to urban heart breaks , or for travellers who don't hear slightly lower temperatures.

How to endure a 'good' tourist inward Venice (and taste the urban centre without infuriating the locals)

Welcome to HaloTrip.blogspot.com | Every twelvemonth Venice begs tourists to comport themselves together with honour the city. This year's displace is #EnjoyRespectVenezia and includes helpful advice for visiting.

Unfortunately the Bad Tourists are normally day-trippers thinking themselves inwards a Disneyland , who volition non exercise whatsoever query , won't receive got a clue nigh the existent urban center , together with whom these messages volition never reach. Life inwards Venice for locals , workers , together with longer-term visitors tin acquire utterly hellish inwards the summertime months when coaches , ferries together with cruise ships disgorge tens of thousands of trippers daily. Bins overflow , routes are blocked , boats are overcrowded together with the pump of the urban center becomes a identify to live avoided at whatsoever cost. There is utter of extra charges for visitors , of turnstiles together with of restricting numbers. Locals are given discounts , together with priority waterbus boarding , exactly to acquire inwards possible to alive here.

Throughout the summertime local Venetian newspapers together with local conversations characteristic all the latest tourist misdemeanors: from swimming inwards the Grand Canal to riding a bike through the city. Tolerance gets worn away when residents tin no longer choke nigh their everyday lives without obstruction. Low-cost volume tourism is increasing together with is seen equally the biggest threat to the city's cloth together with character. And every twelvemonth Venice despairs of its futurity faced with this 'assault'.

There are unproblematic rules which volition halt y'all infuriating Venetians:

1. Walk on the correct , together with process the lanes similar roads: unmarried file , no stopping , exercise allow overtaking. Absolutely no bicycles , scooters , roller-skates etc.

2. Leave equally trivial behind equally possible. Minimise rubbish , together with go out it inwards bins. Drink from H2O fountains instead of using together with discarding multiple plastic bottles. Do non fifty-fifty think of leaving padlocks on bridges or graffiti on walls (you would live amazed what some tourists think is 'cute').

3. Don't block bridges. Your selfie isn't to a greater extent than of import than someone else's correct to acquire to work. Sitting on a span with a picnic is the ultimate tourist criminal offense inwards Venice.

4. No swimwear , no toplessness (both sexes) , no stripping off , no bathing inwards canals.

Venice at black afterwards the day-trippers leave


Going further: 'respecting' the city


The 'respect' which Venice requests is a cultural concept which isn't ever obvious to unusual visitors , fifty-fifty the most well-meaning ones. In Italia local residents experience a real profound sense of identification with , together with ownership of , their hometown. It isn't exactly 'a identify where they live' , together with the town centre isn't exactly a laid of streets they see - it is something much to a greater extent than fundamentally 'theirs'.  Complimenting an Italian's hometown is a guaranteed agency to brand friends. Conversely , treating their town with disrespect is similar entering their habitation , sticking ii fingers upward at them , together with chucking your rubbish on their carpet. I've rarely encountered the same proprietorial feeling inwards the United Kingdom of Great Britain together with Northern Ireland of Britain together with Northern Republic of Ireland , except perhaps inwards a pocket-size village. In a urban center similar Venice , which was in ane lawsuit a powerful empire , this sense of local pride together with partisanship is especially strong.

It's a dissimilar agency of thinking to that of many tourists. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 visitor powerfulness experience they are paying to see a finish together with 'use' it for their pleasance , together with that this makes them equal to residents - or fifty-fifty to a greater extent than important. I've heard tourists declare that equally 'paying customers' a they tin thus bask a finish inwards whatsoever agency they choose. But to Italians , visitors are guests. Most Italians don't exercise goodness direct from your see together with may inwards fact endure from the consequences of tourism. Again , this is especially truthful inwards Venice.

If y'all desire to experience welcome together with avoid giving offence inwards Italia , y'all could imagine yourself equally a invitee inwards someone's 'drawing room' (it's no jeopardy that many Italian piazzas , including St Mark's Square , receive got been described equally drawing rooms) , together with human activeness accordingly.

How to exhibit honour to a identify , Italian-style


Although I'm writing nigh Venice , the same basic concepts apply throughout Italy. You'll live to a greater extent than welcome if y'all squall back you're a invitee , together with that  Venetians experience the urban center 'belongs' to them (there is some room for struggle hither , but that's for some other time).

Many Venetians receive got lived with these lanes together with canals for their whole lives , together with their ancestors for centuries earlier that. They shopped at these local shops , perhaps from the same solid unit of measurement of shopkeepers , they may potable at the same cafe their gramps did. Their families receive got worshipped at the local church building , celebrated weddings together with funerals , together with joined inwards the religious feasts to accolade historic events similar the city's liberation from plague. Venetians alive inwards apartments together with the city's network of lanes , canals together with campi , grouped into parishes , are similar a shared living infinite for its people: this is where they come across , top each other daily , hang out , interact together with work. When y'all view the streets inwards that calorie-free , it becomes clearer how irritated together with disrespected residents experience when tourists process Venice equally though it is a subject commons to amble through. The key to a 'respected' Venice is for all visitors , fifty-fifty day-trippers , to live aware it is a living , historic , proud urban center , together with non to process it similar equally though it exists for their amusement or convenience.

Campo San Giacomo dell'Orio , ane of the most 'local' squares inwards Venice , where toddlers play , schoolchildren grow vegetables , together with adults come across to take away grip of up


Dress


Italia is however a real conventional province , with rules of 'appropriate' clothing together with behaviour which are partly a resultant of the historical authorization of the Catholic Church , together with partly a resultant of taste. Although it won't occur to most tourists , their alternative of clothes tin give offence inwards a multifariousness of ways. Wearing swimwear , truly skimpy clothes , or men going topless is only unacceptable anywhere inwards Italia other than on a beach or edifice site. In some archaeological sites you'll hear custodians blowing whistles to alarm manly soul tourists to position their shirts dorsum on. Walking roughly Venice equally though y'all are exactly pottering roughly  a H2O commons is deeply offensive to Venetians. Occasionally locals volition remonstrate with tourists when they strip to bikinis to sunbathe on urban center benches. In Capri , which likewise has pedestrian lanes , at that topographic point was utter of banning wood-soled shoes because of the dissonance they made; Venice has similarly talked of banning wheeled suitcases.

Visiting a church building y'all must choke farther together with comprehend your breast , shoulders together with legs higher upward the knee. Don't convey photos of worshippers , or anywhere y'all are asked non to (it is safer to inquire if it's allowed) , or process a church building purely equally a casual tourist sight. And absolutely no snogging or other excessive displays of affection (I receive got truly seen this). Historical sites together with museums receive got less severe codes of conduct , but whatsoever with a religious or monumental importance are likewise treated with additional decorum.


Preparation together with getting off the beaten track


Knowing nigh Venice is the key to truly appreciating the city. Most summertime day-trippers await at the Rialto span , await at St. Mark's , consume a picnic or an H2O ice cream , go out some litter together with choke away again. You volition receive got a much to a greater extent than rewarding see if y'all remain longer , explore off the beaten rail , together with receive got an stance of the context of what you're seeing. This form of tourism is likewise much to a greater extent than acceptable locally. Most Venetians (I hope) wouldn't desire to bar all visitors from their city. They know it is wonderful together with would similar to part it. They'd similar y'all to appreciate the riches of the urban center beyond St. Mark's - together with likewise for the burden of tourism to live spread out a flake to a greater extent than over the city's area. We all acquire grumpy when constantly asked directions to St Mark's or the railway station. Ask for a less-visited finish together with y'all powerfulness live surprised what a dissimilar reception y'all get.

Accommodation together with services - think twice earlier y'all save


Airbnb together with equivalents receive got had a real damaging effect on cities similar Venice.  I never remain inwards them for both ethical together with security reasons , but many travellers are happy to salve a flake of coin together with experience equally though they're 'living similar a local'. Individual Italians are mostly bang-up to brand a quick tax-free buck , so inwards the concluding few years huge numbers of residential flats receive got been converted to vacation lets which brand far to a greater extent than coin than longer-term rentals. Locals together with would-be residents are priced out of the urban center , spell those remaining receive got to part buildings with constantly arriving holidaymakers , with all the extra dissonance , disruption together with security issues that involves. Holiday lets real rarely follow the local rules nigh recycling together with reducing waste. They oftentimes don't pay whatsoever or plenty taxation to comprehend the expense they get , aren't registered together with aren't discipline to the laws followed yesteryear 'official' hotels together with B&Bs. To cater for these Airbnbers , local businesses receive got unopen downwards to live replaced yesteryear tourist-friendly supermarkets. It is truly much amend for Venice , for legitimate business-owners , together with for travellers themselves , to remain inwards mainstream , regulated accommodation which encroaches equally trivial equally possible on local housing stock together with living conditions.

Shop local together with proceed the urban center sustainable


Over the years I've lived inwards together with visited Venice I've seen scores of useful local shops together with services disappear. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 pop local toy store directly sells the common masks together with handbags. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 bakery becomes some other Chinese drinking glass together with mask shop. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 pic solid becomes a supermarket. Bookshops are replaced yesteryear clothes outlets. Nice nutrient shops acquire noisy bars , or kebab shops. Antique shops receive got unopen downwards equally the demographic of visitors has shifted. The need from tourists is making the urban center harder together with harder to alive in. As visitors , y'all tin aid yesteryear avoiding the inexpensive made-in-China tat. Finances permitting , attempt out local artisan arts and crafts shops together with authentic Murano drinking glass (not ever that expensive) , patronise pocket-size local bakeries together with nutrient shops , pass your coin inwards repose authentic local bars together with cafes instead of the flashy tourist traps , see some of the smaller museums , together with when y'all purchase a java inwards an out-of-the-way bar , or consume inwards a local eating seat , view it equally a contribution to a sustainable urban center equally good equally an enjoyable meal. In my guidebook I advise good-value shops , restaurants , bars together with cafes which aren't tourist traps together with are mostly locally-run.



In Castello , an expanse which however has a large resident population.


Not a subject park

What non to do


I can't tell it plenty , Venice isn't yet a subject park , together with all lovers of Venice are desperate to salve it from that fate. Tourists who process it similar a subject park:

 Situated in a privileged position in the capital of Azerbaijan, Four Seasons Hotel Baku is a must-visit location in this rapidly developing city.


Here Breaking Travel News speaks to Bob Suri, general manager of the property, to find out more.

Breaking Travel News: Perhaps we could start with an overview of the hotel – what is on offer there to guests in this vibrant destination?

Bob Suri: Baku is a an evolving and a very unique destination that became the host city to world class events like the Formula One Grand Prix, the first European Olympic Games, UEFA Europa League Final and Euro2020, as well as and similar sports events, along with music festivals such as Zhara Music Festival.

As the world’s leading luxury brand, we take a lot of pride in representing the Four Seasons brand in this beautiful and vibrant destination that has tremendous possibilities.

Our presence in this location definitely represents the appetite for luxury segment.

The beautiful hotel is located on the promenade and on the shores of the Caspian Sea in the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku.

We offer the city’s finest accommodations in our 171 rooms and suites; while there is also the Italian restaurant, Zafferano, Piazza lounge and Bentley’s Whiskey Bar.

The exclusive enclave of the Jaleh Spa & Pool, lavish meeting spaces and, of course, the signature service of Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts completes the offering.

We proudly stand by the four main pillars that have helped develop the unique approach that Four Seasons has towards their guests - quality, service, culture and brand.

Our purpose of creating impressions that will stay with the guests for a lifetime comes from our belief that life is richer when we truly ‘connect’ to the people and world around us.

BTN: Who visits the Four Seasons Hotel Baku – what are your key source markets and has this changed over the past two years? Is the property aimed the business sector, or more leisure focused?

BS: The key source markets for the property for the past five years and pre-pandemic times were Gulf Countries – including the UAE and Qatar, followed by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

They booked mainly for leisure travel, while we saw Russian bookings both for leisure and business purposes.

During pandemic we have observed a bit of a change in the key source markets; where UAE, Qatar and Russia remain in top five markets, though with lower volumes considering the global pandemic, Turkey now leads the list.

After the success the country has gained with the victory in II Karabakh War in November 2020, the government has started developing the lands at an accelerated pace, and this has encouraged movements from countries participating in the redevelopment efforts.

One of these countries is Turkey , where business travellers actively started to travel from due to the involvement in these projects. 

Taking into consideration the prime location of the hotel right in the heart of the city centre and close proximity to the sightseeing and business centres, the hotel is perfect both for leisure and business travellers.

The facilities we provide can meet all guests’ expectations.

Living in the new normal environment, we at Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts company, have also implemented a ‘Work at Leisure’ concept globally to provide business travellers all the support should they prefer to stay in the city for longer yet stay connected to work from the comfort of their rooms.

BTN: You are welcoming a new executive chef this month – how important is the culinary offering at the property?

BS: Our main all-day dining restaurant, Zafferano, is known as the best Italian restaurant in the city and welcoming such talent as Renato Rizzi will only elevate the experience for our guests.

Originally from Brescia, he began his professional culinary journey at Pasta Fresca De Salvatore, one of the pioneers of authentic Italian cuisine in Singapore.

He went on to work at restaurants in Italy, Spain, the UK and France – picking up new techniques at each place, and sharing his own growing knowledge with fellow chefs.

Then, Asia beckoned once again, and Renato continued to hone his skills as a senior chef in premier Italian restaurants in Hong Kong, Philippines and Thailand.

In 2005, he joined Four Seasons, coming on board as the Italian chef at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur.

Since then, he has lent his expertise and passion to Four Seasons properties across continents – as Sous Chef in Hawaii and Washington, DC, and then as Executive Sous Chef in London, Tianjin, Koh Samui and now beautiful Baku.

That being said, it’s also worth mentioning that for us it is very important to give our guests a sense of place.

Azerbaijan has very diverse and delicious cuisine which we do reflect in our culinary offerings at breakfast including signature local egg dish with tomatoes called “pomidor yumurta” in Azerbaijani; we feature our local products on our weekly Sunday brunches, and we also serve the highlight of local cuisine, the Caspian caviar.

Our in room dining also offers cuisine gems such as Dushbara and Lamb Dolma which is prepared and guided by our teams’ generational recipes and are signature dishes of any local household.


BTN: You joined Four Seasons Hotel Baku in 2019 – just prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. How do conditions in the city, and Azerbaijan more generally, compare today?

BS: The health and safety of our guests and employees have always been at front and centre for our company.

To offer a safe environment for them, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts across the globe have implemented the ‘Lead With Care’ programme, a full-scale health and safety enhancement that we have developed in consulting agreement with Johns Hopkins Medicine.

While the Four Seasons experience may look different, it still feels the same.

Our dedicated people are committed to delivering the same intuitive service and personalised care for which Four Seasons is known and trusted the world over.

We are blessed to have our ownership aligned with the beliefs of the Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, where putting people first is a priority and we have had their support throughout the pandemic, so far.

The authorities in Azerbaijan developed innovative program called SAHMAN.

This is a nationwide campaign set to transform Azerbaijan’s existing health, safety and hygiene standards.

Supported by the UNWTO, it also reaffirms the country’s commitment towards providing a world-class tourism destination for its citizens and future visitors alike in the post-pandemic world.

The programme guidelines continue to evolve since the launch date, based on recommendations and regulations set by the World Health Organisation (WHO), whose agenda includes adapting best-in-class practices across global industry players.

This program has been playing the fundamental role in control overall situation in the country during global pandemic.


BTN: The government of Azerbaijan has been investing heavily in the tourism product of the country in the past five years – does this bring any benefits to Four Seasons Hotel Baku?

BS: We would like the guests to leave with lasting memories of true Azerbaijani hospitality and the feeling of awe of what the destination has to offer in the sense of a pleasant, unexpected revelations of the city and the country. 

We strongly believe that with the constant government support in tourism development, the hotel will welcome guests from new emerging markets on top of the existing ones and continue provide true Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts experience that is very well known around the world and remain the leading luxury hotel property in Azerbaijan.

By the local community, the area was dubbed the area the old Nongsa. From this beach, the coast of the southern part of Singapore is just a half-hour boat motor. This proximity causes the villagers there in the 1970s to 1980s know Singapore dollar currency or ringgit Malaysia rather than dollars.



In that period, the fishermen in the area selling the fish, such as Nongsa fish, trevally, Grouper and other reef fish, directly to Singapore. In addition to selling fish, they also sell wood from the forests on the island of Batam, which at that time was still wajahpulau a forest of a mangrove habitat otters, various birds, and sea eagles.

Today, the beach has been incarnated as Old Nongsa recreation area the prestigious. This place is also an area that has always been contested by the investors to build the resort. Locals oftentimes can only see an exclusive resort that is not affordable.

As the fishing communities that make the sea as a Sustainer of life, local residents are now no longer able to sail free. Who manages the resort often prohibits their build bagang around the beach because it is considered dangerous to ships or cruise ship excursions that will be anchored in one of the resort.

Usually people reveals his fascination, the effect, on the beach, visited not far from what ' owned ' the beach. For example things commonplace as a quiet beach water conditions or choppy water, the color of its large, white sand, coral reefs as home to thousands of sea life, and so on.
