40- 50% cancellations at Madeira hotels

Portugal’s removal from the UK’s green list is causing a wave of cancellations at hotels in the Region.

This is said by Tiago Massa, Chairman of the Hotel Management Board of the Funchal Commercial and Industrial Association (ACIF), who speaks of a wave of cancellations exceeding 40%.

The Chairman of the Board of ACIF Hospitality says that the decision of the United Kingdom to remove Madeira from the list of destinations that allow Britons to travel abroad without having to comply with 10 days of quarantine on return is incomprehensible.

In this regard, he hopes that the diplomatic efforts will take effect and that the decision will be reviewed before the three weeks announced by the United Kingdom to review the list of countries.

Such sad news, and I would hope we will be on the green list very soon again..

  1. Well we have now decided not to cancel our two weeks from June 21. Just in the process of reorganising our 10 days quarantine in UK on return.

    2. I was going to make a comment but like the Government I don’t really have anything concrete to say, so unlike the Government I’ll keep quiet except to hope you enjoy your stay.

  3. Come and join us, after yesterday there are plenty of empty sunbeds around Savoy Palace pools.

  4. Good for you
    I spent six months with my 94 year old mother in Madeira returning two weeks and felt much safer there than London
    So many here On the buses without masks and nothing said so purely a political decision by the UK government and unfair on the wonderful Madeirans who deserve better

    1. Feel so sorry for the lovely Madeiran people. To be at the whim of our government is sad

  5. Got back from Madeira on Sunday. Had a great week there and locals were very welcoming, but spirits now dashed again. Booked to be back in August and hopefully all returned to normal.

  6. My husband and I flew out 17 may and had 12 lovely days in pestana Carlton, a bit stressful doing all the test but staff at the airport very helpful ,I don’t know why you have been put on Amber list when you were on green before, hope it won’t be for long

  7. EasyJet have cancelled our flight for Sunday 11th July but still have flights for the Monday so hopefully we we still be able to come!??

  8. Interestingly UK Foreign Office have not altered their position on Madeira and the Azores. This is a u unilateral decision of Government in the UK! It truly is nonsensical but reflects the political standards we currently have in the UK – Government not fit for purpose!
