We know that many of our clients, especially those of you in the UK, are missing being here in the Algarve at the moment. It really is a huge injustice how the Algarve was excluded from the list of destinations deemed as safe to travel to for UK holidaymakers. We were painted with the same brush as Lisbon where the Covid infection rates are a little higher than the UK, and whilst exceptions were made for Madeira and The Azores, the Algarve with one of the lowest infection rates in Europe has been excluded, and very unfairly treated.
Flights however are still arriving daily in Faro from the UK and much misinformation has been spread regarding rules and regulations affecting travellers at each end, here are the facts regarding quarantine upon returning to the UK. And we can confirm that passengers from the UK as well as from the rest of Europe do not require Covid tests.
We reported last month that we had seen a surge in enquiries from international buyers during the lockdown period and we are pleased to confirm now that the trend continues. There seems to be more and more people who are set on upping sticks and moving to the Algarve. We have yet to see any price reductions and transaction levels have been very healthy, especially considering the travel restrictions facing many buyers.
