By the way, the original question was related to later in the summer. Not to confused with "June" the actual title of the thread.

Plus, there would be some people who would prefer to go on holiday later this summer to avoid markups for Summer 2021. We all know that businesses ( tourism facilities ) would like to recover their losses for 2020 in 2021.
I understand. I suppose the best way to sum up what I am saying is that any planning should be short term. I don't have my crystal ball to hand, so I do not know what the future holds, but to plan a holiday for the summer now seems madness. If we reach a stage where the virus has run its course quickly (ie we don't give it a chance to hop from person to person), we'll be in a much better situation than if we pretend everything is ok.
