Greece was the stand-out, acheiving 86% of July and August arrivals in 2019. It was followed by Cyprus, 64.5%; Turkey, 62%; and Iceland, 61.8%. Greece and Iceland were amongst the first countries to make widely publicised claims that they would accept visitors who had been fully vaccinated and/or could show a negative PCR test and/or could show proof of recovering from Covid-19.

The countries which fared worst were those which rely more on long haul tourism, such as France and Italy and those which imposed the most onerous and volatile travel restrictions such as the UK, at the bottom of the list, achieving just 14.3% of 2019 levels.
