"For me，188bet online casino games year’s holiday is to sit in the garden and read a book，Listen to music。I will not refuse to receive friends，But I never want to travel anywhere。"Stephanie said to me，“No holidays because of the virus”。

Stephanie lives in a border city in eastern France near Switzerland，She is a retired French teacher，There are many friends on weekdays，So although I am already sixty or seventy years old，Also travels around Europe 188bet online casino games time to time，Visiting friends。But after the outbreak in Europe，She completely changed her lifestyle: she no longer frequented the market to buy fresh fruits and vegetables，Call a local grocery store instead，Order some organic fruits and vegetables and snacks every week，Home delivery。She rarely even drives out now，I love sitting on the deck chair under the big cherry tree in the yard and reading，Sometimes I tidy up the roses in the garden，Rosemary and lavender。

She laughed at herself as "being an old person"，Very alert，Not willing to take any risks。She will not go on vacation 188bet online casino games summer，Not to mention "going abroad" at 188bet online casino games time。

Stephanie is certainly not an exception。According to a research report published by French resort Siblu and market research company Toluna in early July，25% of French people have canceled their holidays，18% of the French people surveyed will adjust their travel destination from abroad to France。actually，Until July 1 188bet online casino games year，60% of French people who plan to take a vacation have not yet decided on any summer travel destination，188bet online casino games was almost unimaginable in previous years。

Europe has entered the high-risk stage after the first wave of the epidemic-the summer vacation wave。Starting from last Monday (20th)，France implements new policy nationwide requiring masks to be worn in public closed places，A free COVID-19 testing service 188bet online casino games be added at the airport starting today，To reduce the spread of the epidemic。When the lockdown is gradually lifted across Europe in May，Countries encourage citizens to travel within the EU，But now it is clear that “within the EU” is not safe either，Because no matter France，Britain or Germany，Cases of small-scale infection have been reported one after another，Some “high-risk” areas have appeared sporadically。

——The world’s second most despised tourist destination

Almost no signs，Midnight on Saturday (25th)，The British government announced that 188bet online casino games will be removed from the list of "safe (travel) countries"。The British government opposes all but “essential” travel to 188bet online casino games，At the same time, all travelers returning from 188bet online casino games are required to quarantine at home for 14 days。

“We cannot apologize，We must make a decision quickly，Action requires decisiveness。" 188bet online casino games Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab explained to the media on Sunday。

Spain is the second largest travel destination in the world after France，At 188bet online casino games time, European tourists are urgently needed to come to save the local economy。

Perhaps it is unfair to say that the British New Deal comes without warning。The epidemic has recently increased in 188bet online casino games，Neighbor France has also been discussing for a week whether it needs to close the border to 188bet online casino games again。Norway has announced that it will implement 10-day quarantine measures for travelers from 188bet online casino games starting from Saturday (25th)。

188bet online casino games’s local figures released on Friday，280 new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours，Three times as much as two weeks ago。where，The autonomous region of Catalonia, with Barcelona as its capital, has become the hardest hit area，On the 17th, a ban on 4 million residents, including Barcelona, ​​was announced，Gatherings of more than 10 people are prohibited，At the same time，All nightlife venues are closed，To prevent the second wave of the epidemic。

188bet online casino games does not include high temperatures of 35 to 40 degrees，Regulations on wearing masks in public places，Even at the beach，The policy stipulates that the mask can only be taken off after landing。

188bet online casino games is less than a month since Spain’s lockdown was lifted，It’s only been a month and a half since the borders within the EU’s Schengen area were opened。Spain’s COVID-19 cases show signs of rising again，The situation in Portugal is also not optimistic，188bet online casino games makes neighbor France terrified，French Prime Minister Castel said publicly last week，I hope French residents will not go to Catalonia - even though shopping there is cheaper，Holidays are cheaper。At the same time，France does not rule out re-closing Spanish border to Catalonia。

188bet online casino games all happens at the height of European summer holidays - many holidaymakers are already in Spain，Many people have already made plans to go to Spain。

What’s more important，The sudden decision of the United Kingdom has made the British who are about to go to 188bet online casino games，Even people in other European countries are worried；They will worry that more countries in the EU will make temporary decisions to close their borders due to the epidemic。

The British government’s measures caught many British tourists in Spain by surprise，Make their already unusual holiday 188bet online casino games year even worse。Abigail Maino, a senior lawyer at DMH Stallard Law Firm in the UK, told Sina Financial Analysis another major impact of 188bet online casino games new policy: most employers will be sympathetic to such a government policy change，Because 188bet online casino games will involve employees’ vacation plans。But if the employee’s work cannot be replaced by working from home，Many employers probably will not pay employees for the 14-day quarantine。

“Rabb states that employees cannot be fired or punished because they have to quarantine for 14 days。For example，Some employees may have worked for less than two years，Not yet meeting the requirements of “unequal dismissal rights”，Some employers may decide to terminate employees just because they cannot perform their job functions within 14 days。”

“The current unknowns and ongoing developments mean that many employers will be talking to employees returning from 188bet online casino games，Discuss how to implement without new holidays，Or how should we pay the salary for those who cannot work due to isolation。"Maino told Sina Finance。

——The European 188bet online casino games industry is still at the bottom of the valley

For Spain，Travel bans in various places are even more nightmare。As the second largest tourist destination in the world，Tourism usually contributes to Spain 14.6% of GDP，Involving the employment of 2.8 million people。Last year，3.3 million American tourists visited Spain，Under the premise that international travel has not been completely lifted，American tourists are in vain，The hope of revitalizing Spanish tourism 188bet online casino games summer can only be placed in France，On Germany and the UK, which are big European tourists。where，British tourists accounted for more than 1/5 of the total number of foreign tourists in Spain last year。

The Spanish government is still lobbying hard，Hopefully the British government can be persuaded to exclude the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands at the western end of the Mediterranean from the quarantine policy。But the British government not only put Spain on the blacklist 188bet online casino games time，The next step is likely to be to impose quarantine measures on travelers from Germany and France。

From July 26 to August 31，There were nearly 10,000 flights originally planned from the UK to 188bet online casino games。

As a policy response to the British government，Europe’s largest travel company TUI said on Sunday，They are canceling all flights to Spain until August 9th，Only flights to Canary and Balearic Islands。But Michael O’Leary, CEO of Europe’s largest low-cost airline Ryanair, said today that he will not reduce the number of flights to Spain，It’s just that the company also announced today that it will cut 188bet online casino games year’s annual tourist target by 1/4.

At the same time，The stock prices of airline stocks and travel companies, which have already plummeted due to the epidemic, have also fallen again。European low-cost airline EasyJet shares fell 14% on Monday，188bet online casino games is the highest single-day drop since the outbreak in March。British International Airlines Group (IGA) fell to the bottom of the London Stock Exchange blue chip index。At the same time，FTSE 350 Travel and Leisure Index records worst year in 10 years，Based on the total decline of up to 40%，Falled again due to 188bet online casino games decision of the British government.3%。

The International Air Transport Association also expressed its dissatisfaction with the British government’s resolution in an email statement released today，believes 188bet online casino games will have a great impact on consumer confidence that is urgently needed for economic recovery，And 188bet online casino games resolution does not reflect the endemic crisis in one corner of the country。At the same time，Rebuilding confidence in the tourism industry requires mutual cooperation between governments，Instead of temporary suspension。

Joshua Mahony, senior market analyst at 188bet online casino games financial institution IG, commented on Sina Finance today，FTSE opens lower today，One of the important reasons is that it is dragged down by airline stocks。

“The market has doubts about the quarantine measures taken by 188bet online casino games，And air travel companies have also been greatly dragged down。Ryanair has lost 1 from April to June.8.5 billion euros，Airlines desperately need a smooth summer to stabilize their balance sheets。Unfortunately，The quarantine measures for Spanish tourists coming to the UK and returning residents are not helpful。Increased market risk，Even made gold hit a new high，Inflated the price of all rare metals。"Mahoney said frankly。
