Frio frio - Song by Juan Luis Guerra 🖤

Tu amor es tan

Completamente tierno

Forjado de recuerdos

Y sin saber es cielo en la ventana

Que me abre la mañana

Tu amor me parte en dos el occidente

Me clava de repente

Y me convierte en masa que se amolda

A una ilusión ardiente

Dime si mastico el verde menta de tu voz

O le pego un parcho a mi alma

Átame al pulgar derecho de tu corazón

Y dime como esta mi amor en tu amor

Frío, frío (frío) como el agua del rio (frío)

O caliente como agua de la fuente

Tibio, tibio (tibio) como un beso que calla

Y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres

Tu amor despierta y lava su carita

De rosas me salpica

Y sin saber es una vía láctea

Que vira y me da vida

Tu amor lo guardo dentro de mis ojos

Como una lagrimita

Y no los lloro para que no salgan

Tus besos de mi vista

Dime si mastico el verde menta de tu voz

O le pego un parcho a mi alma

Átame al pulgar derecho de tu corazón

Y dime como esta mi amor en tu amor

Frío, frío (frío) como el agua del rio (frío)

O caliente como agua de la fuente

Tibio, tibio (tibio) como un beso que calla

Y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres

Pudiera ser un farolito

Y encender tu luz

Hasta que quieras tu

Frío, frío (frío) como el agua del rio (frío)

O caliente como agua de la fuente

Tibio, tibio (tibio) como un beso que calla

Y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres

Frío, frío (frío) como el agua del rio (frío)

O caliente como agua de la fuente

Tibio, tibio (tibio) como un beso que calla

Y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres

End of the World - Disaster movie

Matt 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world : the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just

• First of all: What is the end of the world?

  • Prior to this, Jesus taught the parable of the wheat and the tares, where he says the end of the world is when He will send His angels to gather the elect (at the time of the rapture).

  • Matt 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

  • This is the same as His statement in the timeline He presents in Matt 24:31 and Mark 13:27.

  • The world is the people.

  • It is not the destruction of the earth, but the destruction of the wicked people at His return and take-over of the world.

Read the following in your Bible: Matt 24, Mark 13, Luke 17 and 21

Jesus said when we see these signs – This generation shall not pass away. So the generation alive when these signs appear will not grow old and die before the end of the world...

Earthquakes – doubled in last 30 years - quadrupled in the last 100 years

Famines – Starving people all over the world – South America, Africa, Asia, India

Pestilences – Aids epidemic, Flu's (SARS, H1N1, CoronaVirus (COVID-19), bird flu, swine flu, etc.), Resurgence of old plagues – The Plague, Mumps, Measles, Scarlet Fever, and diseases like Tuberculosis, Cancer, Brain diseases, etc.

Great signs from heaven, sun moon stars – Alignment that happened in Sept 2017 happens only once every 7000 years, and Studies show there has been much increase in Solar Activity in recent decades

Sea and waves roaring - Tsunami's have killed hundreds of thousands recently...

Wars and rumors of wars - Wars in Africa, Middle East, India, Asia, Russia - WW3 looming on the horizon...

False Christs – More than 30 people we know of in the last 200 years claim to be Jesus Christ (many alive today with large followings)

False prophets - False prophets and false teachers are everywhere in the "church" today

Love waxes cold - Hard hearted people, especially in the millennial generation. Have you noticed how so many have no compassion? How it's all about me, me, me? Even mothers and fathers to their children!

Brother against brother, children against parents, etc., hated for Jesus' name - Islam and contentions about religion is causing this to happen all over the world today and will get much, much worse when the Antichrist takes over the world

Luke 21:29 Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

Is there any doubt the time is now? All of the signs Jesus told us about are happening right now! Jesus said when we see these signs – This generation shall not pass away. So the generation alive right now will not grow old and die before the end of the world!

Water from the flood... If you look at this geological tectonic map of the fault lines and volcanoes, you’ll notice that they follow the mountain ranges and the deep valleys of the oceans. Right where the mountains arose and the valleys sank, the crust is weak and broken.

Ps 104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

This phrase, “go up by the mountains, down by the valleys” means to rise up and sink down, into the place where God had founded for them.

This map shows where God caused the deep valleys and the mountain chains to remove the water from the flood, and it's exactly where the earth is weak and eroding to the point that God knew would be this time, today, that they would begin to cause catastrophes and the "signs" that He told us would happen!

---

So, why can't it be another 50 years? Even though all the signs Jesus said would happen are happening right now, and this generation shall not pass away, why does that mean it can't be another 40-50 years?

There are a number of other things that show us where we are in the timeline of the Lords EndTime events...

One that gives us a pretty clear picture of timeline is that Islam is almost certainly the 4th Seal (Rev 6 Seal and Zech 6 Spirit), and we're told specifically that the Green Horse is given power over a fourth part of the earth.

Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale (remember, this is actually green) horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Islam grew from 1.48 billion in 2008 to 1.8 billion in 2015 (approximates). It's estimated that Islam is almost exactly 25% of the world today (2017). At that rate of growth it could not be too many more years before they go beyond a "fourth part".

So if Islam is the fourth Seal, it would not match prophecy if the day of the Lord were to be as long as 50 years from now. Projected growth would put Islam at much more than 25% by then.

Another reason it is very unlikely that it'll be another 50 years is the timing of Gods plan as it has unfolded throughout history and the number of years between major events. 6000 years from creation to today!

The Bible shows the exact years from Creation to Abraham (approx 2000 years).

Adam was 130 years old when he begat Seth, who was 105 years old when he begat Enos, who was 90 years old when he begat Cainan, who was 70 years old when he begat Mahalaleel, who was 65 years old when he begat Jared, who was 162 years old when he begat Enoch, who was 65 years old when he begat Methuselah, who was 187 years old when he begat Lamech, who was 182 years old when he begat Noah, who was 500 years old when he begat Shem, who was 100 years old when he begat Arphaxad, who was 35 years old when he begat Selah, who was 30 years old when he begat Eber, who was 34 years old when he begat Peleg, who was 30 years old when he begat Reu, who was 32 years old when he begat Serug, who was 30 years old when he begat Nahor, who was 29 years old when he begat Terah, who was 70 years old when he begat Abraham, who was 100 when he begat Isaac. Total of 1946 years from Creation to Abraham (2046 to when God made the promises to Abraham and Isaac was born).

Samson, Delilah and the Secret

The Philistines wanted to know why Samson was strong. Samson made a huge mistake in trusting someone with his secret. But God used this to help Israel become free.

Samson met a woman named Delilah (Judges 16:4). She did bad things, but Samson liked her. He began staying at her house.

The Philistines now saw a chance to get rid of Samson. They told Delilah they would give her a lot of money if she would find out where Samson got his great strength. They wanted to know how they could overpower him.

She asked Samson the secret of his strength.

Samson lied to her. He said, “If I’m bound with seven fresh bowstrings, then I will be as weak as other men.”

So the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings. She bound Samson with them after he fell asleep. The men were hiding in the room.

Delilah shouted to Samson, “Wake up, the Philistines are here!”

He got up and broke the bowstrings like a strand of yarn. So Delilah did not find out the secret of his strength.

Delilah tries again

Then Delilah told Samson, “Look, you have made fun of me and told me lies. Please tell me what you may be bound with.”

So he said, “If I’m bound securely with new ropes that have never been used, then I shall become weak like others.”

After Samson fell asleep, Delilah took new ropes and tied Samson with them. Then she shouted again, “Wake up, Samson, the Philistines are here!”

The men were again hiding in the room. Again he broke the ropes off like a thread.

This time, Delilah was very upset. She said to Samson, “You are still making fun of me and telling me lies. Tell me what you may be tied up with so you can’t get loose.”

He said, “Weave the seven braids of my hair into your loom.”

After he fell asleep, she wove his braids tightly into the loom. She shouted to him, “The Philistines are here!”

Samson awoke from his sleep and easily pulled out his braids that had been woven into the loom.

Now Delilah became really angry with Samson. She said to him, “How can you say you love me? You have made me look foolish and lied to me three times. And you still refuse to tell me where your great strength comes from.”

Telling the secret

Every day she pestered him, asking him over and over to tell her. Samson became so weary, he decided to tell her his secret.

“No razor has ever touched my head. My hair has never been cut. I have been a Nazirite to God from my birth. If I’m shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I will become weak, and be like other men.”

As soon as Delilah heard his words, she sent for the Philistines. When they came, she told them what Samson’s secret was and how he could lose his strength. The Philistines brought the money they had promised her.

Delilah then lulled Samson to sleep. She called for a man to shave off Samson’s hair.

Once again, she shouted, “Wake up—the Philistines are here, Samson!”

He awoke from his sleep, but he found he was no longer strong. God had departed from him.

Samson in prison

Then the Philistines captured him. They put out his eyes, causing him to be blind. They brought him down to Gaza, one of their cities. They bound him up with bronze shackles and put him in prison. They made him grind grain.

As time went on, however, his hair began to grow again.

Meanwhile, the Philistines gathered together to offer a sacrifice to Dagon, their god. They were happy. They said their god had allowed them to capture Samson.

As they were celebrating, they said, “Bring Samson here, so he can perform for us.”

So Samson was brought from the prison, and he performed for them. Then he stood between two pillars of their temple.

Samson’s last stand

Samson said to the person who led him, “Let me feel the pillars that support the temple so that I can lean on them.”

About 3,000 men and women were on the temple roof. The great men of the Philistines were inside.

Then Samson prayed to God, “Oh God, remember me! Strengthen me, just this once, so that I may take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!”

Samson braced himself against the two middle pillars that supported the temple. He had one on his right and the other on his left. Then he said, “Let me die with the Philistines!”

He pushed on the pillars with all his might. The temple fell down on all the people in it. So he killed more at his death than he had killed in his life.

His family came and took his body home. They buried him in the tomb of his father, Manoah.

God used Samson to begin to free Israel from the Philistines. With Samson’s mighty hands, God brought sudden destruction upon thousands of Philistines.

Samson had many faults, but he must have repented of his sinful ways. God gave him back his mighty strength. He showed faith in God many times in his life and by his final act. God considered him worthy to be mentioned in the Faith Chapter, in Hebrews 11:32.

ANGOLA REPORTS 228 NEW INFECTIONS, 188 RECOVERIES

Environmental unsustainability may impair Ghana’s economic growth if… – World Bank

The World Bank says environmental unsustainability may impair Ghana’s economic growth, as demonstrated through two economic indicators, its Environmental Analysis on Ghana has revealed.

The first is national wealth—the measurement of a country’s assets in produced capital, natural capital (renewable and non-renewable), human capital, and net foreign assets—a gauge of growth sustainability. Between 2000 and 2014, Ghana saw total national wealth more than double.

Importantly, the growth is predicated on efficiently and sustainably managing natural capital—a fact which can be demonstrated through increase in its per capita value over time—and reinvesting proceeds into other forms of capital, primarily human (Lange et al., 2018). Yet, much of Ghana’s recent wealth growth came with liquidation of non-renewable assets and losses to renewable resources, as well as erosion of produced capital. Ghana’s high population growth makes this a pressing concern since existing capital stocks must be shared with younger and future generations.

A second related indicator is adjusted net savings (ANS)—defined as gross national saving (national income less consumption, plus net transfers) adjusted for gains in education spending and losses through depletion of subsoil assets and timber resources, and the cost of air pollution to human health—a measure of how wealth changes over time. If ANS is positive, it is adding to wealth and future well-being; if it is negative it may indicate the country is consuming more than it is saving, using up its assets to fuel present growth, which undermines long-term sustainability (Lange et al., 2018).

According to the World Bank, the country’s natural resources have been key drivers of economic growth over the past 30 years, a period during which Gross Domestic Product (real) has more than quadrupled.

Macroeconomic momentum has also been driven in part by higher prices for Ghana’s main commodity exports, gold, cocoa, and recently, oil. Over this period, natural resource rents as a percentage of GDP have more than doubled.

This fits an overall trend that has seen natural resource rents as a percentage of GDP more than double between 1990 and the present; approximately one-half of these rents come from non-renewable sources (oil, mineral, natural gas).

“In Ghana, dissaving due to natural resource depletion and pollution damage has skyrocketed and ANS has been consistently negative since 2007”, the World Bank noted.

Together the two indicators help inform an understanding of the linkages between environment and natural resource management and Ghana’s ability to foster future growth by investing in its people.

Cost of Environmental Degradation to Ghana

The cost of environmental degradation to Ghanaian society is estimated at about US$6.3 billion, equivalent to roughly 11% of the country’s 2017 GDP.

Among the national costs, air pollution is the most significant cost (equivalent to 4.2% of GDP).

Water pollution however caused significant damage (equivalent to 3% of GDP) due to the health effects of an inadequate water supply, poor sanitation, and inadequate hygiene, as well as discharge of solid waste, industrial effluents, and toxic substances into water systems.

Gold mines, unmanaged solid waste, and other contaminated sites also impose high costs, that is activities related to the recycling and disposal of electronic waste, burning of plastic waste, and artisanal small-scale gold mining, release hazardous chemicals and heavy metals, to which exposure can be fatal.

Also, agricultural land degradation, deforestation, and overfishing are noteworthy due to their negative effects on resource productivity and ecosystem services.

European Super League contracts LEAKED

Details of the European Super League contracts signed by all 12 rebel clubs have been leaked online with some startling detail about the riches on offer.

German outlet Der Spiegel has released a few pages of the document, which was agreed to by the Premier League’s ‘Big Six’, as well as three clubs from Italy and three from Spain before the controversial announcement last week.

They include Barcelona and Real Madrid both receiving an extra €60million (£52m) each more than their rivals, the right for each club to exclusively broadcast a number of matches and a £130m fee for those wishing to withdraw from the competition.

There was a furious backlash from fans, players, managers, politicians and even royalty this week after plans of 12 elite European clubs to form their own competition were announced on Sunday night.

But the scheme was in tatters by Tuesday night and its founder, Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli, announced it could not go ahead after the ‘Big Six’ Premier League clubs had all withdrawn by Wednesday morning.

On Friday morning, American investment bank JP Morgan seemed to put the final nail in the coffin after they pulled their £3.5billion backing of the Super League.

It was later announced that, after a meeting of UEFA’s executive committee, the 12 clubs involved would not face any sporting punishment for the role in the scheme.

However, leaked details of the 23-year contracts signed by the 12 clubs have given an insight into some aspects of the competition and the financial rewards that those involved were set to receive.

It now seems clear why Real Madrid and Barcelona have still not officially withdrawn from the Super League because they were due to earn significant amount more than their rivals.

One area of the contract is titled ‘Additional compensation for the first 2 seasons of the Super League competition’.

It goes on to say: ‘Barcelona and Real Madrid will be paid the additional fixed amount of €60m (£52m) each, payable in two equal instalments.

‘For this purpose, at the end of the first Super League season and at the end of the second Super League season, they will be paid €30m (£26m) each.’

Barcelona are facing huge financial debts and need to bring in every penny possible to cover it with newly-elected president Joan Laporta saying the breakaway competition is ‘absolutely necessary’ on Thursday night.

Another part of the contract says that Super League clubs ‘will have the right to show four of their regular season games live per season “exclusively” on “core club platforms”‘, such as their website, club mobile application and TV channel.

This would ensure additional income for clubs because it would allow them to earn extra revenue from subscriptions to those packages.

One page shows that of the 15 founder clubs – which is the original 12 plus Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, who were all due to be invited – AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, Dortmund and Inter Milan would receive a smaller share of the initial ‘infrastructure grant amount’.

Arsenal, Bayern, Chelsea, Barcelona, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Man United, PSG, Real Madrid and Tottenham were due to earn 7.7 per cent of the initial payment given to founder members.

The other four teams were only due to bring in 3.8 per cent of that figure.

However, perhaps the most important figure leaked in the contracts is the ‘break-up fee’ that could come into play now the majority of the founder clubs have pulled out.

It says that clubs who pull out of the Super League face a ‘£130million’ penalty fee, which would be a huge blow to the six Premier League clubs and others who have withdrawn their support.

The leak came after Super League clubs were handed a boost on Friday when UEFA determined they would not hand them sporting punishments.

A UEFA executive committee meeting was held and possible sanctions for the ‘Dirty Dozen’ who were willing to break away and form their own continental competition were discussed.

But UEFA chiefs decided not to kick any of those involved out of this season’s Champions League and Europa League competitions or impose a ban from next year’s tournaments.

But Barcelona and Real Madrid’s faith in the Super League working in future took yet another setback on Friday when financial backers JP Morgan pulled their £3.5bn of support.

In a statement, JP Morgan said: ‘We clearly misjudged how this deal would be viewed by the wider football community and how it might impact them in the future. We will learn from this.’

It was thought JP Morgan’s financial commitment to the Super League plan was primarily going towards a payment of between €200m (£174m) and €300m (£261m) to each participating side.

Their statement comes just a couple of days after sustainability ratings company Standard Ethics downgraded the investment bank’s credibility rating from ‘adequate’ to ‘non-compliant’ after questions were raised about their integrity following the initial announcement of their backing of the Super League.

A statement from UEFA on Friday simply read: ‘In addition, the UEFA Executive Committee was updated on the latest developments regarding the so-called “Super League” including the options available to UEFA and the steps it is considering taking.’

The European Club Association tweeted: ‘We want to move past the events of this week and encourage and inspire the global football community, as matches return this weekend. Clubs can only succeed both on & off the pitch if we work hand in hand.’

Meanwhile, Downing Street has insisted UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson had no idea of the Super League until Sunday night after The Mirror reported he had talks with Manchester United’s Ed Woodward at No 10 just days before the news broke.

It is thought Woodward was there to discuss football’s strict coronavirus rules and the return of fans to stadiums as part of the Government’s easing of lockdown but it is claimed he did meet Johnson after the meeting.

Labour have since demanded the release of the minutes of the meeting ‘in order to clear up any confusion and avoid accusations of hypocrisy.’

The anger of Premier League fans has yet to subside, with Manchester United having to bring in extra security measures after angry fans breached security at their Carrington training base before confronting boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Thursday.

The supporters were protesting against the club’s American owners, the Glazer family, over their leading role in the doomed European Super League plot and challenged manager Solskjaer about why he did not speak out against it.

The group of around 20 fans who breached the premises belong to the self-styled ‘Men in Black’ who also attacked United chief Ed Woodward’s house in Cheshire in January last year.

Pictures of Solskjaer and other staff members arriving on Friday morning showed a greater security presence at the entrance with even the manager getting a full check before he was allowed to enter.

He was stopped and forced to remove his sunglasses to show the security team his face. Technical director Darren Fletcher was seen arriving shortly after and gave the guards a thumbs up as he drove in.

Everyone trying to enter the complex was asked for their ID.

Two of the original Red Knights consortium who attempted to oust the Glazer family from power at Manchester United more than a decade ago have urged the American owners to give up their controlling interest in the club.

Lord O’Neill, a former senior executive at American investment bank Goldman Sachs, and Sir Paul Marshall wrote to United chairman Joel Glazer on Friday following the collapse of the European Super League.

Prominent figures in the failed £1.25billion takeover of United in 2010, the duo want the Glazers to reduce their stake from 74.9 per cent to no more than 49.9 per cent to encourage other investors to buy into the club.

They say the owners’ shares should be sold for $14 each – the share price when United were floated on the New York Stock Exchange in 2012 – as a gesture of goodwill.

They also want to end the club’s dual-class share structure so all shareholders have the same voting rights.

Liverpool fans are also still irate at their owners – Fenway Sports Group – and have called for change.

Prominent Liverpool supporters’ group Spion Kop 1906 addressed a passionate letter directly to owner John Henry and his fellow FSG representatives on Thursday, in which they outlined the ‘shame and embarrassment’ brought onto the club.

The fan group, who are responsible for the famous flag and mosaic ensembles which decorate the iconic Kop end on matchdays, have now urged that FSG sit down with them in a face-to-face meeting and discuss the appointment of a fan representative to the board, with the power to have a say on matters.

The same fan group had been among the first to apply pressure on Liverpool’s owners, after greeting the initial Super League announcement with a response of informing the club they would be removing their flags from the stadium.

Attention is now turning to how such a situation can be prevented in the future and serious reform of how English football is run appears to be very much on the agenda.

A fan-led review into the power structures of English clubs has been announced by the Government to be chaired by Tracey Crouch MP.

And one of the ownership models to be considered will be Germany’s 50+1 rule. It’s a system used by the German Football League (DFL) to ensure clubs don’t fall under the influence of external investors such as Russian oligarchs or Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds.

Basically, 50 per cent of the club’s shares, plus one share, must belong to the club’s members – in other words, the fans of the team. This ensures the supporters retain the majority voting rights on any issues affecting the club and one single investor cannot just waltz in and take control.

Without adherence to the 50+1 rule, the DFL would not grant a club a licence to play in the Bundesliga.

Knifeman screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ is shot dead by cops after killing mother-of-two in French police station

A female police worker in France has been killed by a knifeman who shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ before he was shot dead by her colleagues.

The 49-year-old mother-of-two was slashed in the throat by the Tunisian on Friday afternoon as she worked in the main police station in the Paris suburb of Rambouillet.

The administrative agent had recently returned from her lunch break and had ‘popped out of the station to change her parking disc on her car’ when she was pounced on by the attacker in the lobby.

The attacker is understood to be a 36-year-old of Tunisian nationality having arrived in France in 2009 and given leave to remain in 2019.

He was not previously known to police or anti-terrorist authorities and had recently moved to Rambouillet having previously lived in the Val-de-Marne.

Rambouillet is a quiet commune southwest of Paris and is known for its famous historic chateau.

‘The attack happened just after 2pm,’ said an investigating source. ‘The administrative officer was pounced on by the man, who slit her throat with a knife.

Local MP Aurore Bergé, said: ‘Whenever our law enforcement agencies are attacked, it is France that is attacked. Rambouillet is a town that is not at all used to being subjected to violence.

‘This reminds us that our law enforcement agencies put their lives at risk every morning when they go to work.’

It follows six years of savage Islamist attacks in France, including the beheading of schoolteacher Samuel Paty by a Russian-born terrorist in October last year.

The deadliest single terrorist attack ever in the country came in November 2015 when 130 people were killed in Paris.

Suicide bombers pledging allegiance to ISIS targeted the Stade de France, cafes, restaurants and the Bataclan music venue, where 90 died.

Earlier in the year, two Paris-born gunmen linked to Al-Qaeda broke into the offices of the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine, leaving 12 dead and 11 wounded.

In July 2016, 86 people were killed and more than 400 injured when a 19-tonne truck was deliberately driven into crowds on the seafront promenade at Nice, in the South of France.

The terrorist turned out to be a radicalised Tunisian immigrant who was shot dead by police.

During the same month, two Isis terrorists murdered an 86-year-old Catholic priest during a church service in Normandy.

There have been frequent knife attacks on the forces of law and order, leading to the deaths of serving police.

In October 2019, a radicalised computer operative working at the Paris Prefecture in central Paris stabbed four of his colleagues to death.

The attacker – who was also shot dead – turned out to be a Muslim convert who kept extremist Al-Qaeda and Islamic State literature and images on his computer.

Turkey and Bulgaria lift travel bans for Britons and confirm tourists WON’T need a vaccine

Turkey has announced today that British tourists will be welcome in the country this summer without having to show a vaccination certificate.

Visitors from the UK will not need to produce a Covid vaccine passport, but will need to show proof of a negative PCR test.

The country also promises to provide testing for tourists before they return to the UK, with tests at hotels or airports costing around £25. Until now PCR tests for a family of four can cost as much as £500.

Tui, the world’s largest tour operator, said it had seen a surge in bookings to popular Turkish coastal resorts even before today’s announcement.

Travel consultancy The PC Agency told MailOnline it had seen a spike in bookings for luxury villas in Greece, Portugal and Mallorca after the Greek Tourism Minister announced the plan to welcome British tourists from mid-May.

The agency revealed people are booking up for month-long trips and asking for WiFi and a desk and are taking the whole family so that they can get paid to work from home while on holiday.

The PC Agency said it had seen double the amount of requests for Greek villas compared to previous years, with demand for fully serviced villas with a chef, butler and housekeeper so tourists can stay away from restaurants and crowds.

Popular islands Mykonos, Santorini, Corfu and Crete are already getting booked up, with most bookings from 2020 rolled over into this year.

Brits are also looking for properties on smaller islands including Hydra, Paxos and Syros, which are off the beaten track and away from the crowds, according to The PC Agency.

Popular islands Mykonos, Santorini, Corfu and Crete are already booking up fast, with most bookings from 2020 rolled over into this year.

This comes as Downing Street last night said the ban on foreign holidays is on track to be lifted on May 17, with travel opened up to as many as 30 countries.

Turkey’s tourism minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy said the ‘successful vaccination programmes in the UK and Turkey will ensure this season is even safer than last year’.

Mr Ersoy added: ‘We are looking forward to welcoming British tourists with open arms, as we did safely last summer.

‘We have world-class border processes in place for ensuring travel will be low-risk throughout Turkey.

‘We are working with the British authorities to ensure these necessary processes are world-class and as up-to-date as possible.

‘We will not require vaccination passports from international travellers when entering the country.’

A priority vaccination program is already underway for employees at hotels and other tourist facilities to receive a jab before the start of the summer season.

Some 20,775,790 million vaccination doses have been administered in Turkey as of 22 April.

Tourists visiting Turkey are also being offered a special insurance package, from £12, which covers Covid related expenses such as treatment, medication and emergency care costs that may be incurred if visitors are taken to a state-owned or private hospital during their stay in the country.

A TUI spokesman said: ‘This is great news because our bookings to Turkey have been incredibly strong, second only to Greece.

‘We’re committed to working closely with the Government so our customers can look forward to a much-needed holiday abroad this summer.’

And Bulgaria, eager to encourage holiday-makers to its Black Sea resorts, has also announced it will ease rules for entry to the Balkan country from May 1.

The country’s outgoing health minister Kostadin Angelov said entry will be allowed for tourists who show a vaccination certificate, with a negative test result from a PCR or an antigen test.

Tourists can alternatively show proof that they have recovered from the coronavirus infection in the past six months.

Earlier this week, Greece lifted quarantine restrictions for British travellers, raising the prospect of holidays to the Mediterranean country in less than a month if ministers lift the ban on foreign travel on May 17 – although tourists could face quarantine after flying home.

It is extremely unlikely Greece would qualify as a green list destination not requiring quarantine, because its current Covid prevalence of 271 cases per million is far higher than the level considered acceptable, which is around 50.

Covid laws mean anyone caught taking a foreign holiday before the end of June currently faces a £5,000 fine.

But No10 said ministers were now confident the ban will be lifted on May 17 – the most optimistic date set out in Boris Johnson‘s roadmap for easing the lockdown.

There has so far been no sign of the feared spike in Covid cases since the reopening of shops, gyms, hairdressers and outdoor hospitality last week – which could have derailed the roadmap.

Asked about the May 17 target, the PM’s official spokesman said: ‘There is nothing in the data that suggests we need to change the dates.’

A final decision will be made early next month.

But Paul Charles, boss of travel consultancy The PC Agency, said he expected up to 30 countries to be considered ‘green’ destinations – not requiring travellers to quarantine upon return.

Hopes of an early return for foreign holidays were boosted after the EU indicated UK residents would be exempt from a travel ban because of this country’s high vaccination rate.

Israel, Iceland and some Caribbean islands are among the countries most likely to be named on the initial ‘green list’ next month.

The Commons transport committee yesterday urged ministers to name the ‘green list’ by May 1 to give firms and families time to plan.
