The vice president of the Government Teresa Ribera wants to reactivate foreign tourism in July. This will lead to absurd situations, such as the fact that Spaniards cannot change province but receive tourism. Most of the tourism that Spain receives is European, so an agreement would save summer.

The Vice President of the Government Teresa Ribera has taken action on the matter and has given hope to the economic sectors that saw how the summer was on them with half-hearted tourism. “Our idea is that we can work on safe origins and destinations rather thinking about the month of July than June,” the Socialist vice president assured Efe. This tourism would only open in principle for some countries in Europe, such as Germany, Italy, France or England, which is good news, because most of the tourism in Spain comes from those countries.

“We have to be very careful about how the person who comes is not at risk, because he arrives at a safe destination, and at the same time does not pose a risk to the crazy population,” said Rivera, which is why European countries, which have suffered the pandemic at the same time, they are the ones most likely to come to our country. The problem is that the arrival of this tourism “will probably come in step with the rest of the de-escalation process”, which will lead to such absurd situations as being able to allow foreigners to come but Spaniards cannot travel between provinces.

The news is positive because the main tourism in the country is European. Precisely, the countries with which the Government wants to reach an agreement are those that most support Spanish tourism. The first is England, then Germany, followed by France, Italy and the Netherlands. This means that of the 84 million tourists Spain received in 2019, around 50 million come only from those first four countries.

To all this is what tourism means for Spain. In the country, almost 14% of the national GDP comes from activities related to tourism. If it is already anticipated, according to organizations such as the International Monetary Fund and others, that the country’s GDP will contract by up to 10% and that the debt will skyrocket, depriving the country of tourism can have harsh economic consequences. However, the difficult thing is to get the prevention and health security measures that guarantee that there will be no new outbreaks without any control.

“The faster and better we consolidate health security, the easier economic recovery will be, knowing that there are many people who have not been affected by a health problem and who are having a hard time due to economic circumstances,” said the vice president of the Government Teresa Ribera.
