Minister of Tourism, Iago Negueruela said the Baleric islands need to come together in a joint effort to restore tourism from the UK to the islands.
Speaking at the virtual World Travel Market, he described how 2021 will be crucial is the restoration of tourism: “We’re ready for it, the island councils are ready for it,” Negueruela said.
“In active collaboration with the sector as a whole, we’re busy getting ready for the hugely important 2021 season and we have every faith in a recovery for the British market which is so important for our islands.
“We’re getting ready in coordination with the different island councils and we need to work together and act as one when engaging with the sector.
“This includes working jointly with the main British agents to ensure a recovery of the tourism sector in this crucial 2021 season.
“For us, 2021 begins today. For each one of our islands, today marks the beginning of how we intend to bring tourism back to the Balearic Islands.”
The safety precautions were highlighted during the call, and confidence given for future travel to the Balearics: “It’s clear that each of our islands is important to the British market and each one caters to a different type of tourism,” he added. “That’s why each island is developing its own strategies.”
