The Government initiative alerts holidaymakers planning trips to the European Union that new rules come into force on January 1. Travellers are urged to visit gov.uk/transition to check what actions they may need to take before their trip. European Health Insurance Cards may no longer be valid and holidaymakers should purchase "appropriate travel insurance", according to the guidance. The information campaign will be displayed in online and print publications and on social media. Office for National Statistics figures show that UK residents made 67 million visits abroad to EU countries in 2019.
