Majorca and Ibiza bid to be excluded from two-week quarantine UK has slapped on Brit holidaymakers returning from Spain
from midnight last night with just five hours notice.
The decision was described as a “hammer blow” by hotel bosses in Benidorm, although the town’s mayor Toni Perez insisted he would still encourage holidaymakers to come because it was a “safe” destination. “One of the main arguments justifying the creation of a safe air corridor between the islands and the UK is the health situation here.
“It’s a very safe destination with beaches which are very well organised and businesses which have established protocols and are applying them. He added: “These questions of quarantine are something we can’t control but Benidorm will continue to welcome those who want to come here and will continue to offer visitors including foreign tourists maximum health security.”
“It’s not just places like Benidorm that’s going to suffer, other popular holiday destinations like the Canaries and Majorca are going to be hard hit too.Travellers returning to the UK from Spanish mainland, the Canary Islands and Balearics will have to fill out a form declaring where they will be for the next 14 days and stay put.Fines start at £100 for failing to fill in the form in England.
