As a family business with 46 years in the travel industry, the welfare for our customers and our staff is of upmost importance to us. Our first class covid safety measures allowed our 2020 summer to go ahead uninterrupted, and safety continues to be our priority this year. To ensure your safety and welfare we are taking every measure to ensure your sun or ski holiday is as safe as can be from start to finish. In order to comply with local government regulations in resort some activities or services may be altered, amended or in-operable for safety reasons.
Even with additional safety measures in place an escape to the Med at the last minute is possible. Our Sales Travel Experts and After Sales Care Team are on hand 6 days a week from 9am to 5pm to help answer any further covid queries.

Following the government and Global Travel Taskforce guidelines for England the safe restarting of international travel will be accompanied by a global traffic light system; destinations will be categorised into ‘green’, 'amber’ or ‘red’ lists. Each coloured list will have its own rules and regulations to ensure travel is covid compliant and safe. To help you understand what this means for a Mark Warner holiday, each category has been explained below.
We will be continuing to regularly review the situation in all of our destinations as well as the guidance from the Global Travel Taskforce.
Changes to covid travel rules
An easier and simpler system is being introduced for travel from 4th October 2021 as well as a single red list rather than a traffic light system.

Ten days quarantining in your own home, or, you can use the Test and Release scheme and do a private Covid-19 test on the fifth day; provided your test result is negative you’ll be able to end your quarantine immediately. This scheme is voluntary and applies to those quarantining in England only. You still need to take the compulsory test on or after day 8.
It is very likely that by the time you are ready to depart the requirements for testing will have been relaxed and no longer mandatory. If however PCR testing were still required, we are currently in negotiations with PCR partners to offer you reduced rates for your tests.

When we made the difficult decision not to operate our Winter 2020/21 ski season, we did so with optimism that 2021/22 would be a very different scenario: one where holidays were back and having operated a successful summer season in Greece, we are back to the slopes of the Alps with renewed enthusiasm.
