The main problem with lifting travel restrictions is that almost nowhere has a good handle on the issue at the moment and as we have just seen in the Maldives it only takes a few fly-ins to start a big wave when they had almost nothing.
Yes, most of Europe is now better than it was 4 months ago but still racking up more than 110k cases per day so where would you like to go for your holiday? Or which country would you like to allow in here?

Lawyers being lawyers they will find grounds, right or wrong. Much the same as the India restrictions are currently being challenged.
There is no perfect system. Right now the restrictions are justified and I agree with them but as vaccination percentages rise and more countries enter agreements to travel in certain conditions more will question why we can't do the same.
Once we are mostly vaccinated and infections / deaths drop dramatically what will the next excuse be?
As to countries? The green list England is adopting is a good start, as well as Vietnam, Hong Kong and any other country that has an obvious handle on the situation.
