Do Da Math

[spathiphyllum]

If you have a family holiday in the EU it will cost £28 for a family of 4 for the travel registration. Now the EHIC card will be gone.. Travel insurance will be around £15... That's £88 more. Most families don't even contribute this much annually towards our current EU contribution.

So is this what was voted for?

LOL.

JJ other places have those issues also, so the EU isn't competing, it's a level field. Flight times and culture will also sway people. Also will loved destinations that people go to annually.

ff my calculations may be wrong.. But in the op have implied that you should do the math.

Exactly Spath - the other places already have those issues - therefore THEIR prices are not going up any further to UK tourists. Their prices will be constant

ONLY the EU prices will go up relative to everyehere else - they will not have the advantage that they presently have - and therefore some people will not go to the EU and will try other places instead. DEMAND for the EU holidays will decrease!

I am talking about a CETERIS PARIBUS situation where the only determinant is PRICE.

//Do you have one, if so do you also buy insurance for a week in spain? //

Spath, the NHS themselves strongly recommend that you do just that.

//The EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance. It will not cover any private medical healthcare or costs, such as mountain rescue in ski resorts, being flown back to the UK, or lost or stolen property. It is also not valid on cruises.//

I always buy insurance at about £12 for a one week trip to Majorca (Mallorca) and this year the hotel charged me c.20 euros holiday tax when I arrived. This won't put me off going again and neither would £7 travel registration.

If we're being asked to do the maths (as opposed to math) would folk not be paying for insurance regardless of the destination and the referendum result?

EHIC stands for The European Health Insurance Card

Of course i'd get insurance for skiing, but that's different. Spain? Nah. I don't do private anyway.

[mushroom25]

//Spain? Nah. //

well you now have guilty knowledge. don't go crying to the crowdfunding pages when you need repatriating, or some other service not covered.

[spathiphyllum]

Why would I? I'd pay for a flight i aint no sponge.

What’s ‘travel registration’?

[spathiphyllum]

where you have to register to be able to travel somewhere

[Neveracrossword]

ZM, it's the new, post-Brexit, fee, for us going to countries in the EU. It's a while before we'll be paying it.

[Zacs-Master]

With whom?

[spathiphyllum]

it may be free, but on the bigger picture it will cost the UK a lot.

[THECORBYLOON]

The new ETIAS scheme is due to come in from 2021 and once registered, it is valid for up to three years. In your example then, the additional charge amounts to less than 17p a day for two weeks in Spain.

[Zacs-Master]

Where has the £28 figure come from?

[Neveracrossword]

ZM, the OP mentions a family of four - so 4 x £7.

[spathiphyllum]

The USA charge 10 USD per person for travel registration (or it costs them) so a fam of four, IMO equals about £28

[dannyk13]

ZM, see posts at 09.13 & 09.14.

[Zacs-Master]

I can find nothing which says any ‘registration’ will be £7 per person. I CAN find something which says the ETIAS scheme will be €7 for three years.

It’s hard to ‘do da math’ when the basic info seems to have been plucked out of thin air.

Just keeping with the brexit standard.
