No covid tests for British vaccinated people who want to go to Spain. The Italian way to tourism is instead chaos
British tourists who have received two doses of a coronavirus vaccine will no longer need a PCR test to travel to Spain, the Spanish prime minister announced at an official meeting.
Pedro Sánchez said Spain will stop requiring fully vaccinated British and Japanese tourists to undergo a PCR test from Monday in a speech before tour operators. He said the country will open to fully vaccinated visitors from the rest of the world from June 7.
"I can announce that from 24 May Spain will be delighted to welcome British tourists back to our country," he said.
The Spanish government justified the decision by stressing the importance of British tourism for the country's economic recovery. The UK is the largest market for the Spanish tourism industry. The problems if ever will be posed by the British government which has classified Spain as a country on the "Amber" list, ie a country where it is not recommended to go on vacation. "I think it's very important for people to understand what a country is on the amber list – it's not a place you should go on vacation, let me be very clear on that," Prime Minister Boris Johnson said at the beginning of this week.
British residents returning from Spain must take a COVID-19 test before returning to England, quarantine for 10 days after their return, and take two more tests during their self-isolation. This is to limit, for British responsibility, local tourism.
How does the “Via Italiana” work at the controls? In a chaotic way: as personally tried to enter Italy from an EU country a test carried out within 48 hours is required, but the various forms delivered are not always collected. Often, instead of a single module, several modules are presented because some regions, for example Emilia Romagna, have wanted to become theoretical protagonists of controls. Too bad that no one collects the sheets. To do things this way, only annoying travelers, it would be better to do nothing.
