This is plausible under the current restrictions, which mandate a negative test, further test, & 10 days’ self-isolation for visitors from non-Red List countries BUT don’t require the visitor to be coming for any particular reason (as is the case for citizens leaving the UK) 1/3

Coming to the UK as a tourist has become a lot easier since 29 March when the ‘leave/be outside home without a reasonable excuse’ restriction was removed as there is no longer any (even potential) legal ban on tourism to the UK. 2/3
The net effect is that it is illegal for a UK resident to leave the UK for a holiday but legal for a non-UK resident from a non red list country to enter and be in the UK for a holiday as long as they self-isolate and test 3/3
Obviously the ‘self-isolate for 10 days’ but is going to prevent a lot of people coming but bear in mind this is not particularly checked on as far as I know (though people have to give their address and the police can check in theory) so it’s a pretty risky system 4/4
I stand corrected - checked on a landline phone apparently
