Hanover / Palma (dpa) - Tui is relying on a restart of the important Mallorca business in the upcoming Easter holidays.
"The hotel industry has prepared intensively to offer safe and responsible holidays," said Tui Germany boss Marek Andryszak on Monday before the start of the online edition of the world's largest travel fair, ITB.
Corresponding hygiene concepts give confidence that there is close coordination with the authorities.
Therefore one wants to give customers "Easter holidays in Mallorca", so the manager.
Most recently, Spain was classified as a normal risk area by the Robert Koch Institute - that is, a country without exceptionally high levels of new corona infections.
Tui pointed out that the values on Mallorca were “far below those of most of the German federal states”.
Talks about a stronger reopening of the island have been going on behind the scenes for a long time, and stakeholders outside of tourism are also putting pressure on Spanish and German politics.
Tui canceled trips to the other Balearic islands of Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera as well as most of mainland Spain until mid-April.
Now there should be a cautious opening, especially in Mallorca, for example with the start of a Robinson Club and the first flights of the group airline Tuifly from the second half of March.

The offer is to be expanded further in the summer.
According to Tui, Spain remains the largest market in terms of current bookings - ahead of Greece, Turkey and Italy.
Andryszak assumes that many vacationers will also spend their vacation in Germany again: "The trend towards vacationing in their own country will continue in 2021."
The Baltic Sea coast and East Frisian Islands as well as inland Black Forest, Bavarian Forest and Allgäu are in demand.
