“Visitors from the Gulf states and Jordan make a huge contribution to the UK\u2019s tourism industry, and the new ETA scheme will make it easier and cheaper for them to travel to the UK. This small additional cost to visitors will enable us to bolster the security of the UK border and keep our communities safe.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n“By cutting costs and visa requirements, the ETA scheme will ensure visitors from the Gulf states and Jordan can enjoy traveling with ease to the UK, boosting business and tourism links between our countries.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
