Spain hints holidaymakers without Covid pass will be allowed ‘within days’

Wednesday, 20 May, 2022 0

Spain’s Tourism Minister Maria Reyes Maroto made a surprising announcement, offering hope to unvaccinated Brits.

Travellers from outside the EU, including the UK without a Covid pass could be allowed to enter Spain ‘within days’.

Maroto made the comment during a radio interview.

“It’s going to be a matter of days before we eliminate a restriction that could be discouraging tourists from outside the European Union from visiting us.”

“We are going to stop demanding the Covid certificate and allow people to enter with a negative Covid test,” the minister said.

Unvaccinated Brits will need to produce a negative Covid test to enter.

“The world sees us as a safe destination and 92% of the Spanish population is vaccinated,” she added

“Tourism is recovering here at rates that would have been difficult to imagine in January.”

It was a surprise as the ban on unvaccinated travellers was only recently extended until at least June 15.
