Can ‘Mackrel’ afford to ban British holidaymakers? EU admits foreign tourism down 80%

As Macron and Merkel plot EU-wide ban on Brexit Britain, we reveal the extent of the EU’s crisis

Some EU countries have seen falls of up to 90%, with devastating impacts on economies

The latest official figures from the EU on its tourism industry make bleak reading – especially for those countries which rely on foreign tourism for a significant part of their income.

Meanwhile, this week German Chancellor Merkel and French President Macron continue to try to persuade all EU countries to impose an EU-wide ban on British holiday-makers. Already, countries such as France and Greece are only allowing double-vaccinated British visitor> Without both doses they must self-quarantine, which makes a holiday meaningless.

The EU loses a billion nights of sleep

Facts4EU.Org has analysed the latest data from the EU’s official statistics agency and can reveal the extent of the impact that has been felt by countries across the EU27, as they contemplate another disastrous summer season.

The number of nights spent at EU tourist accommodation establishments by foreign visitors dropped by 79.7% between April 2020 and March 2021, compared with the previous 12 months. This amounts to 1.05 billion fewer nights.

Brexit Facts4EU.Org Summary

The total number of nights spent in the EU by foreign tourists reduced by over 1 billion

Apr 2020 – Mar 2021, compared to same period in previous year

Among the EU Member States with available data, the highest decreases were recorded in Spain (-90%), Romania (-89%), Hungary and Finland (both -88%), Czech Republic (-87%), Malta (-85%), and Portugal (-84%).

Note: Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Greece, and Ireland all failed to provide figures to the EU Commission, so are not included in the chart above.

Observations

With another EU meeting scheduled in Brussels for this week, it seems that Chancellor Merkel and President Macron have not given up on their fight to impose the most stringent EU-wide conditions on British holiday-makers this summer.

They failed in this attempt at the EU summit last week, but are reported to be continuing to pressure other EU member states to prevent holiday-makers from Brexit Britain from visiting any EU country this season.

With foreign visitors down 80%, and with some EU countries heavily reliant on tourism as a significant part of their economies, it must be asked just how far some EU leaders are prepared to go in their attempts to punish the British people for voting to leave the EU empire.

Daily deaths in the UK in any way related to Covid continue to be well below those seen in the EU. Yesterday, just 11 deaths were reported across the UK ‘with Covid’. This is only 0.66% of the average number of daily deaths (1657) from all causes. The EU’s rate is equally small, but is nevertheless three times that of the United Kingdom.

Clutching at straws with their spiteful claws
21st century and still demonised on pretence of geo bolloticks. They are even attempting to take your football away. The numbers are unassailable for the poorer states and the bullying to reduce the opposition will increase. They should be careful not to forget that society is only ever 3 meals from anarchy. You were all supposed to feel saved by their psyops or at least on board with Stockholm syndrome how else can they bang the drums for gog and magog.

These are some breathtaking numbers. 90% down in Spain, 80% down across the EU? I suspect the problem will be that these things are affecting ordinary people relying on foreign tourism in the various countries. The elites in Brussels and other EU capitals seem to be more interested in punishing the uk than in looking after the interests of their own people.

If anyone has watched the documentary I posted links to [comment 9 -' handsy hancock' article of 26th June] by Kate Ward (which has been put on youtube by Ivor Cummins - search for 'Brilliant and Educational: What's Up with the Great Reset? Part 1 of 2, and part 2 of 2) then they will quickly realise that the intent of our Dear Leaders is to destroy the travel industry and the airline industry (note that 4 BA airline pilots died the other week - it seems those who have been vaccinated are at much higher risk of blood clots. See article by Sally Beck on The Conservative Woman of 25th June). There will be NO FOREIGN HOLIDAYS in future (except for the wealthy and privileged) unless the vast majority of the public WAKE UP to what is going on, and what 'Build Back Better' really means for them.

Nose off to spite face. Where have we heard that before.
At least it gives the holiday destinations a chance to see what life is like without UK holiday makers.
Let them carry on, no problem here.
Disrespectful ungrateful so and so's anyway.
