The government hopes to give domestic holidays the green light in early July, subject to its "plan to rebuild".

A spokesperson for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, which also has responsibility for tourism, told the Telegraph at the weekend: “As things stand, people are not permitted to travel to a second home or to stay overnight in a home that is not theirs.

"When it is safe to do so, we will be encouraging people to book a great British holiday.”

According to the government’s roadmap, the earliest hospitality venues – including restaurants, pubs and "accommodation" – will be able to reopen is 4 July; "leisure facilities" will also be allowed to reopen from the same date.

"The government will wish to open as many businesses and public places as the data and information at the time allows," the roadmap states.

Haven last week announced plans to reopen its holiday parks in early July, subject to sufficient restrictions being lifted.

The UK holiday park operator will offer a cut-price, reduced offering – largely focused around accommodation – at all of its UK parks, with special rates available from agents.

Travel Counsellors, meanwhile, are among the major travel businesses to signal a renewed domestic focus, pledging to ensure its business owners have greater access to UK domestic product.

The Guardian reports campsites could also reopen on 4 July, again, subject to sufficient lifting of lockdown restrictions, as well as new health and safety measures, likely to involve higher levels of sanitation and social distancing.
