In the mood for Spain? Here are the dates for the tourism restart

The world of tourism is totally blocked by the Covid-19 but the vaccination process allows one to look forward to the coming months and, in particular, to the summer ahead with slight hope. One of the main destinations for tourism in Europe is undoubtedly the Spain, with islands attached, and they are already thinking about how to bring visitors back to the country safely.

Reopening will only be allowed under certain regulations. However, it is crucial to succeed in getting the industry, which drives some 82 million tourists to try their hand at traveling to Spanish territories, back on track. A billion-euro industry that cannot be left to its own devices, and with a view to a future restart, it is essential to organize a "battle plan" in detail.

When to return to Spain

Tourists in Europe and the rest of the world are wondering when it will be possible to set foot in Spain again to indulge in a safe vacation. When will the entire industry be ready to welcome millions of people again? A first answer has come from Juan Molas, president of the "Tourism Table." According to his calculations, the restart phase would be identified in the early April.

It is crucial, in Spain as elsewhere, to ensure efficient logistics in a variety of areas related to the tourism sector. Running into organizational delays and bureaucratic roadblocks will only keep away potential tourists interested in visiting the country. Very important in this perspective will be the rapid tests, the timescales of which are gradually shortening, ensuring ever-increasing reliability. Giant strides have been made in this area in a short time.

Here are the words of Juan Molas, who was quite confident in the recovery of the Spanish tourism sector, "We have to think about the day when it will start up again. It will be at the beginning of April. There will definitely be a recovery. I'm sure there will be. First of all, we have to be the first to believe in it, whether it is because the vaccine will have spread or because the tests from the point of departure to the point of origin are working."

If you are thinking of flying to the Iberian Peninsula, you could do so without spending a euro thanks to theUse of Avios points to fly with Iberia and Vueling. Points you can earn by shopping at Esselunga every day. And in many other ways.

The new Spanish system: what to expect

Everything will likely be focused on rapid testing. It seems difficult to imagine that, with the current timetable, the vaccination process can reach numbers that will allow safe tourism to 100% by early April. Of paramount importance, therefore, is a marked improvement in the serological testing system.

It is easy to assume that Spain will adopt one of the apps being developed for health passport control, as it has already been called. A large number of checks are to be expected, having arrived in the country and upon departure. Necessary steps to ensure a summer that is fruitful for the economy and relaxing for travelers engaged in the various journeys. The world cannot afford chaotic departures like in August 2020. We have been living with Covid-19 for a year and it is time to show ourselves up to the task.
