Mallorca vacation 2021: Spain wants a corona vaccination certificate

Update from February 12, 2021

: As soon as the corona incidence figures on the Balearic Islands allow, the government wants to stimulate tourism again.

The Mallorca newspaper reported this last week with reference to discussions between the Balearic Tourism Minister Iago Negueruela and the responsible Secretary General of the state government, Fernando Valdés.

The goal is

safe travel corridors

- but also

vaccinated travelers

could get benefits.

“You have to start at the European level to decide how travel is possible,” explains Negueruela.

It makes sense to create a corona vaccination certificate that "helps to stimulate the market".

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis asked for the same a few weeks ago in a letter to EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen.

However, the debate was postponed by the EU because it has not yet been conclusively clarified whether vaccinated people can actually no longer pass the virus on.

But Spain does not want to give up yet: you work "on the harmonized introduction of vaccination certificates against Covid-19," said the message on request from

Bild.de

.

The Spanish tourist office in Berlin also confirmed that “safe international mobility” is being sought.

The Spanish government hopes to welcome tourists again from spring - by then 30 to 40 percent of the population could have been vaccinated.

message

from February 1, 2021

: While the corona incidence on Mallorca * has been decreasing for a few days, the Balearic Tourism Minister Iago Negueruela is doing everything possible to ensure that trips to the island are soon possible again in 2021.

To this end, he is said to have met the responsible Secretary General of the state government, Fernando Valdés, last week.

The aim is to create safer travel corridors so that tourism in the Balearic Islands can be stimulated again soon.

Valdés promised to take care of putting in place a roadmap for the slow return to tourism with maximum safety for health.

As the

Mallorca Zeitung

reports, the travel corridors are to be started as soon as the corona incidence allows.

According to Valdés, this

should

be the case

as early as spring if possible

.

Reyes Maroto, the Spanish tourism minister, assumes that by then

30 to 40 percent of the population of Spain will be vaccinated

, so that tourism could be stimulated again.

In January, the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez caused an outcry in the travel industry when he said that tourists might not be allowed again until the end of the summer, as immunization of around 70 percent of the population would then be achieved.

Vacation 2021: The Corona situation on Mallorca and the Balearic Islands

On Thursday (January 28), the total incidence of the Balearic Islands was

648.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the previous 14 days

, as the

Mallorca Zeitung

writes, citing the government's Corona spokesman, Javier Arranz.

The problem child of the Balearic Islands is currently Ibiza, where there is an incidence of 2,200 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

In Mallorca, on the other hand, around ten percent of the cases are the British virus mutation.

Due to the current deliveries of vaccination doses, according to the Balearic Health Minister Patricia Gómez, 60,000 of the most sensitive risk groups can be vaccinated by the end of March.

From March onwards, the vaccinations should be tightened again, so that all residents of the Balearic Islands could be vaccinated by summer.
