Spain is ready to welcome all tourists this summer

Spain will be ready to welcome back tourists in June, the country’s tourism minister has said. The European Union has previously set out plans for coronavirus vaccine certificates that could be used by UK holidaymakers this summer. Digital Green Certificates will be accepted as “proof” a person had a Covid-19 jab, received a negative test result or recovered from the virus, according to the European Commission’s proposal. And Spain says a digital certificate scheme is currently being trialled with a view to a wider rollout in June. Spain’s tourism minister Fernando Valdes Verelst told a travel and tourism conference in Mexico: “I think the best thing that Governments right now can provide to travelers is certainty, give the proper information and the security that they can travel and they can come back to the countries. “In those terms, in the European Union, we put in place a system … that provides us with digital certificate. “Spain is going to be ready in June to use this digital certificate. We are doing a pilot programme in May, in all our 46 airports. “We are going to give all these travelers that certainty. Spain is going to be ready in June to tell all travelers worldwide that you can visit us.”
