Spain’s PM casts a shadow over Ibiza’s 2021 Summer season

In a statement at the UN WTO meeting on Tuesday, Pedro Sanchez said Spain would be better prepared to be open to international tourism only when at least 70% of the population would be vaccinated. That will be happening by the end of Summer.

As reported by the ‘Diario de Ibiza’, for the Consell de Ibiza president, Vicent Marí, these words are “regrettable, even reckless”, as he has told Europa Press.

Marí has affirmed that a sector “as important” as tourism cannot listen to these statements, especially when they come from the Prime Minister, they take away all hope of working in the summer.” “In Ibiza”, he added, “it is believed possible to work with a high level of vaccination, a campaign that will be progressive. However, it must be recognized that in 2021 we will have to live with the virus, so other measures must be arbitrated to make Ibiza a safe destination”.

“It is a blow to the morale of workers, businessmen and the entire tourism sector and the entire society. We cannot afford one more blank season. From the central government, in addition to striving for more vaccination in Ibiza They must also implement controls in ports and airports” he insisted.

Finally, Marí has ​​asked the Government to rectify and launch a “message of hope” because there is time to have a season if certain measures are adopted.
