The Balearic Islands will be the first Spanish region to receive tourists. They will be between 4,000 and 6,000, will arrive from June 15, fifteen days before Spain opens its borders, and will be eminently German .

The Government has communicated to the Balearic Autonomous Executive which is chaired by the socialist Francina Armengol who approves her project to carry out a "pilot test". It is the great commitment of the Government of Armengol to launch an image of trust and health security to the main issuing markets, thus anticipating the great tourist rivals with which the archipelago competes, many of which still remain closed to the main issuing countries due to to the impact of the pandemic. Among them the Canary Islands and other Spanish areas.

During the last weeks, the Balearic Government has been working in three bands together with the hoteliers of the Islands, the main German tour operators -with TUI at the head- and the German diplomatic representatives in Spain to try to unblock the borders in an exceptional way for certain air corridors. Specific routes would be established with regions whose epidemiological incidence has been similar to that experienced in the Islands, where the pandemic has caused 226 deaths and 2,238 infections have been recorded.

After the approval of the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Health was missing. And finally the plan has been unlocked.

The Balearic hotel sector expected the agreement as May water and expected that it would have been unblocked days ago, with more margin to sell the seats to be released. However, yesterday he received the news with "satisfaction", remembering that the initiative came from the employers and ensuring that they have everything ready to welcome tourists with full health guarantees. "We are prepared to take care of them," said the president of the Association of Hotel Chains, Gabriel Llobera.

The main destination will be Playa de Palma, the area with the highest concentration of German tourism in Mallorca, although the Government plans that 1,000 can travel directly to Menorca and another thousand to the two Pitius islands, Ibiza and Formentera.
