"We do hope to welcome all British holidaymakers from May 17," Portugal's tourism minister Rita Marques told BBC Radio on Thursday.

She said that Britons could either present their vaccination certificate or their negative test result in what would be "a very straightforward and simple process".

Britons should also be able to participate in the EU's digital green pass plan to allow travel, she said.
