Dover has resorted to conducting passport checks in marquees to prevent a potential travel crisis during the Easter period.
In order to avoid a meltdown in Easter travel, authorities in Dover have decided to carry out passport checks in marquees. This measure is aimed at easing traffic and ensuring a smooth flow of passengers through the port.
The checks are being conducted to ensure that travellers have the necessary documentation to enter the country. This includes passports, visas, and other forms of identification.
With the Easter period being a popular time for travel, the checks are expected to help prevent delays and congestion at the port. The marquees will be set up in strategic locations, allowing authorities to efficiently process large numbers of passengers.
The move comes after concerns were raised about the potential impact of Brexit on travel to and from the UK. With the UK now outside the EU, there have been fears that passport and visa checks could cause significant delays at ports and airports.
Dover is one of the busiest ports in the UK, with millions of passengers passing through each year. The decision to conduct passport checks in marquees is a proactive measure aimed at avoiding any potential travel disruption during the Easter period.
