The Canary Islands tourism minister Yaiza Castillo has made some positive noises about the swift return of British tourists.
Responding to questions from Travel Weekly, she said "The Canary Islands are ready for British tourists, in fact we are eager for them to come.
“We are prepared, we are also vaccinating ourselves very fast, in order to have a guarantee of health reciprocity.
“We continue talking about test before travel but now we also talk about vaccination. The UK is doing very well. We want to be at the same level at the UK and also be ready with the same health protocols so that we can guarantee their safety, so that they can enjoy their holidays in the Canaries"
The issue of vaccine certification is very much on the agenda. Whilst the Islands will take their lead from the national government in Madrid, she is positive about the possibility of vaccine certification. Indeed, the UK government is very likely to facilitate a vaccine certificate for vaccinated Brits should countries require it for entry. The Transport Secretary in the UK is chairing a taskforce review into international travel, with the report due on 12th April.
Castillo looks forward to seeing British travellers in Lanzarote soon "To all the tour operators and travel agents in the UK, we look forward to welcoming your customers back to the Canary Islands very soon.”
