Spain, including the holiday island of Mallorca, is now a high-incidence corona area.
German tourists do not want to interrupt or cancel their trip.
With the classification of Spain as a high incidence area *, the quarantine obligation applies to travelers returning to Germany - unless proof of a complete vaccination or a recovery is available.
Most Germans do not seem to be concerned about this restriction.
So far, tour operators have not been able to identify a wave of cancellations.
High incidence area Spain: Germans want to stay on Mallorca
According to the German Press Agency, the German Travel Association (DRV) noted "more inquiries from customers" regarding the return trip, but spoke of a "relatively relaxed" situation overall. "
Most vacationers want to spend their vacation to the end
and even those who have planned the vacation don't have a wave of cancellations," said DRV spokeswoman Kerstin Heinen. The tour operator Tui also stated that
very few visitors canceled their vacation on Mallorca prematurely before the new classification came into force
would have.
"Today we had six return flights with lots of free seats, so that we could easily take the few guests who wanted to rebook with us," said spokesman Aage Dünhaupt.
There is no tendency towards increased return journeys - "on the contrary".
The beaches on Ballermann were full on Monday.
Classification as a high incidence area causes air fares to drop
The wave of cancellations does not materialize, but the airfares have become extremely cheap with the classification of Spain as a high-incidence area.
As the
Mallorca Zeitung
reports, Ryanair (as of Tuesday morning) is offering flights from Berlin Brandenburg to Palma de Mallorca for
ridiculous prices under 30 euros
from July 28th
.
Return flights can also be obtained cheaply from August 9th.
Anyone who flies with Easyjet from Palma to Munich in August can secure a ticket for around 17.49 euros.
The one-way flight costs around 50 euros.
