SPAIN is all set to receive tourists in top holiday destinations like the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca, and throughout the country, with maximum safety guarantees, insists the Secretary of State for Tourism Isabel Oliver.

“Spain has very good signs on the epidemic and we are going to continue improving,” Oliver affirmed in an interview on national TV on Monday night.

“Spain is a very safe country due to the work of the Spanish authorities and all Spaniards.”

The Secretary of State said everything in the tourism chain is prepared for when the State of Alarm comes to an end on June 21 and free movement around the country returns, and when international borders reopen to Schengen zone countries, with the exception of Portugal, on June 22.

She explained the public and private sectors have worked together to establish protocols so that both national and international tourists “can visit and enjoy our country in maximum conditions of safety,” and “without any problem.”

Oliver also commented on the National Tourism Reactivation Plan due to be approved by the Cabinet on Thursday.

It is, she said, “a plan which aims to secure the tourism sector so it can resist and carry on resisting this difficult situation, and get on track so this future road is sustainable for everyone.”
