//Not booking any holidays until this is all over.//
What do you define as "all over"?
Yes, holidays are important. They are an important break from the humdrum of life. Some people's lives are extremely humdrum, especially those working in repetitive or boring jobs. They need a break from their jobs and their routine.
Those who don't feel the need for holidays do not need to take them. They're not compulsory. But just about everything that has been restricted in the last year seems to be dismissed as "not important." Well if large numbers of people continue to be deprived of the thinks that are not important for longer than is necessary large scale mental health problems will ensue. Many people are not living at the moment. They are simply existing. They sleep, they eat, they shop for essentials and they go back to sleep. Living entails more than just remaining alive. It involves participating in some activities that are "not important."

I suppose living in a rather lovely holiday environment adds to our attitude. Life is one long holiday. I might feel differently if I lived in a town or city. However, I wouldn't be making plans for this summer. How do we know what the rules and regulations will be in our chosen location or how safe it will be?
It very much depends what you'd want to do abroad. If you like to sight see or visit galleries and cities then I can see the mask wearing and restrictions might spoil it. If like me though you want to spend all day on a beach and then eat outside at local restaurant it has very little impact. I know because I did 2 weeks of it in September when we were allowed to go. You don't wear masks on the beach, by the pool or eating - obviously. The impact was minimal.
//NJ, I mean when I can travel, eat out, socialise - enjoy all the amenities - restriction free. No social distancing, no face masks./
Then you’re in for a long wait, Barry. Especially for the abandonment of face coverings. As I said in another thread, I expect them never to be decriminalised. They will simply fade from use.
