ADEJE (TENERIFE), Feb. 15 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The ambassador of the United Kingdom in Spain, Hugh Elliot, has described this Tuesday as “good news” that the central government has made the entry of minors from third countries more flexible and no longer requires the complete vaccination schedule but a negative PCR test.
In statements to journalists before meeting with the mayor of Adeje, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, and economic agents of the municipality, he has indicated that in the United Kingdom there is a “desire to return” to the Canary Islands after such “complex times” derived from the pandemic and the ‘brexit’.
Thus, he has said that now it is time to “be very flexible” to adapt to the “new challenges” presented by the pandemic and its changing scenario because it has been “difficult” for both tourists and British residents on the islands.
Fraga has commented that in Adeje there is a “long tradition” of British tourists and residents, just over 3,000, who have faced a “complex stage” due to ‘Brexit’ and the pandemic and now it is about being able to serve them ” in the best conditions.”
Along these lines, he pointed out that the objective of this Tuesday’s meeting is to have an “interaction” with agents from the tourism sector and that there is no longer a “go back” with the pandemic and the “uncertainties” can be finished to start “normalize” the situation.
Regarding tourism, he commented that “the expectations are very good, there is less uncertainty, but it is not 100%”, but he hopes to enter an “irreversible stage” of recovery of tourism.
