Beginning October 1, 2026, travel and tour package selling operators will be affected by new regulations and taxes. When you see a travel package and the price you have to pay says it is much more than what is advertised, this is becoming a reality and only continue even more so. Brexit, the environmental levy, and the new regulations will increase the difficulties to get to the islands.
