The Government are no longer advising Brits against travel to countries including Bangladesh, Fiji, Gambia and Malaysia.

The easing of travel restrictions announced by the Foreign Office means that the advice regarding 32 countries has changed.

These countries were not previously on the red list, but were among areas that the Government said should not be visited unless essential.

Now, the new advice does not warn against holidays to these countries, meaning Brits would jet off for some winter sunshine.

Due to these changes, travel insurance will be a lot easier to attain, making travel in general less stressful.
