UK tourists may be less welcome than others when they head abroad this summer
People in four European countries are more likely to oppose tourists visiting from the UK over summer than they are visitors from the rest of the continent, a new survey has found.
More than 61% of people in Spain say they would disapprove of people from the UK holidaying there, according to the survey, compared to between 40% and 54% for holidaymakers from elsewhere on the continent.
It comes as countries across Europe continue to ease their coronavirus lockdown measures.

People in Italy, Germany and France are also largely sceptical of UK tourists visiting their countries, with opposition levels at 44%, 58% and 55% respectively.

The survey results come as the UK prepares to relax its quarantine rules for incoming travellers, making it possible for millions of Britons to go on holiday this summer.
A list of more than 75 countries and territories has been released by the government, which sets out where English holidaymakers can travel to, without the need to self-isolate for two weeks on their return.
