Simon Calder’s Travel Week Newsletter: Sign up for updates and holiday tips in a fast-changing world

We’re living in an extraordinary time for travel. After many months of staying local, holidays have finally been given the green light from (hopefully) 17 May – just in time for what we hope will be a bumper summer season.

Some travellers resemble coiled springs, ready to go to any location at the drop of a credit card; while others are cautious about the constantly changing tangle of travel restrictions, and the risk of being stuck on the wrong side of someone else’s lockdown.

But one thing has never changed.

I’ve been writing about travel for The Independent for 27 years, celebrating the best the world has to offer. In that time, the newspaper has provided guidance on planning a journey thoughtfully, choosing the lowest-impact means to reach a destination and maximising the benefits of tourism to host communities.

We’re also committed to taking you to the best destinations, and hunting out the best deals from across the world, whether that’s a week on a European beach or a sleeper train trip to Scotland.

As consumer champions, we hold companies to account if they treat travellers unfairly – and provide unparalleled advice to holidaymakers about when, where and how they can use their time and money most wisely.

In my Travel Week email I’ll be providing regular round-ups of key developments in the world of travel, as well as inspiring your next trip – wherever that may be.
