Two-thirds of ‘baffled’ Britons have no idea where they can travel in the UK over Christmas as many have been left ‘completely clueless’ over coronavirus tier rules.

More than one in three adults polled by Travelodge said they need more clarity on where they can go in the coming weeks.  

Despite most of England being in Tier 2, two-thirds of respondents living in those regions believe they are not allowed to travel or holiday in another Tier 2 area, the report said.

The hotel chain said its survey of 2,000 Britons indicated one in four are ‘completely clueless’ over how the tier system works.

Two out of five respondents living in Tier 2 areas believe they cannot travel or holiday in a Tier 1 area, the report said.

A third of British adults said they wanted more clarity on where they can holiday and travel too within the UK this festive season. And 55 per cent of Britons do want to take a short break at home this festive season so that they can safely see family and friends.

Shakila Ahmed, of Travelodge, said: ‘Our latest travel report reveals Britons are baffled as to whether they can travel within the current tier system.

‘With the festive season fast approaching there is certainly a demand for Britons wanting to take a short break.

‘It is essential that before making travel plans, people are fully informed on the tier travel guidance for their residential region and visiting location.’
