  • EU. Spain is already the country that most hinders the arrival of tourists

Within a month of the official start of summer, governments begin to focus their efforts on minimizing the economic damage of the coronavirus on tourism. The French Government hopes that this summer season will be "blue, white, red" and to promote domestic consumption, it is studying together with the different regions the possibility of granting "holiday checks" to people with low incomes so that they can afford that rest.

This initiative, advanced by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne in RT, is still outlined from the different administrations, so the plan and the budget are yet to be detailed.

The Gallic Executive trusts that " the French will be the engine of the rebirth of the economy " and plans to reopen part of its tourist areas from June 21 to start the summer season.

However, Lemoyne has asked for calm while waiting to see how the current case situation evolves. France added another 110 deaths from coronavirus yesterday, bringing the total number of deaths to 28,132, although hospitalized patients continue to decline.

The different countries of the European Union (EU) agreed yesterday that Member States with a "similar epidemiological situation" can reach bilateral agreements between them to allow mobility and relaunch the tourism industry this summer.

France, for the moment, will reopen its borders, initially with Switzerland and Germany, from June 15. The rest has not given deadlines. It has a quarantine for citizens arriving from outside but does not include UK citizens, European citizens and citizens of the Schengen area. Yes there is for the Spanish, for "a matter of reciprocity", as Emmanuel Macron has justified.
