Going to university in Canterbury there was always a steady flow of massive European school groups, particularly important during Summer when all the uni students departed. This is going to hurt a lot of businesses.
Yup. Hadn’t considered this but SO school trips made to London for the museums and art galleries.
Can’t they plan school trips for schools locally to help plug the shortfalls?
I think COVID is more of an issue. Not everyone will have an EU passport, but most kids will have a passport with visa free access to UK.
Brexit doesn’t change your ability to visit briefly as a tourist
LMAO
It’s not like we are currently in a global pandemic!!!
“The Guardian” says it all really.
National ID cards are free whereas having to apply for a passport just for a school trip is an extra expense most parents and schools can’t justify.
I’m sure it’s due to passport and visa rules, rather than pandemic rules which change multiple times per year, without any notice.
Kids haven’t even been able to go to school for a large part of the last two years, let alone school trips abroad.
And not the masses of risk assessment, and endless trip bereuacy.
Unnecessary as they will no longer be able to afford travel abroad anyway
Could it not be because of the global pandemic that’s currently going on?
Schools are having trouble keeping kids in class due to cases of covid, why on earth are school trips incoming suddenly the problem.
My sister is a school teacher in Germany. Her scholl has abandoned all scholl trips to the UK. The Netherlands is now the preferred option.
This is a marketing issue. Most of Europe believes that we’ve made a mistake, and about 52% of our own population think so too if the polls are accurate.
Therefore we need a scheme along the lines of “Come to Britain and laugh at the turkeys who voted for Christmas.”
Could maybe throw a reference to the country Turkey in there as well, but that needs a bit more thought.
Don’t want to over-egg the ~~face~~ pudding.
The UK has some great historical sites, museums and architecture. We are up against healthy competition from across mainland Europe, the French also have the pull of their monarchy too. People like travel to be as effortless as possible and Brexit has changed all that. School trips can be stressful as it is, adding in more issues at airports and borders is going to be the small difference that means the UK is off school’s lists as a result.
lol why would anyone want to come to this third world country
Surely the brexiteers see this loss of income as a victory? No more having to see foreign people being foreign in sacred Ingurlund.
