What the Latest Brexit Agreement Means for Travel and Tourism
Skift Take
The United Kingdom and European Union have finally agreed on a Brexit deal — but the drama isn't over yet. The UK parliament still needs to give its approval and at the moment, that isn't looking likely.
The European Union leaders last weekend approved the UK's Brexit deal at a summit in Brussels.
The deal nominally brought to an end months of negotiations and will not only help frame the divorce but also the future relations between the two entities.
For those who haven't been paying close attention, that would seem to be that, but in reality we face a few more weeks— and potentially a much longer period — of uncertainty.
Where are we now?
The UK and EU have rubber stamped both a withdrawal agreement, which sets out the exit terms, and a political declaration, which deals with the future relationship.
The withdrawal document includes details such as the financial settlement or divorce bill (there's no exact figure given but it is likely to be around $50 billion or £39 billion) and perhaps most contentiously what will happen with the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
What happens next?
Anyone thinking that it is all over would be wrong. T
