Germany, Holland and Denmark have excluded the Canary Islands from the obligation to quarantine travelers who visit the islands, so the archipelago adds three markets that have eliminated restrictions and that will allow to increase the arrival of tourists.
In the case of Germany, the Government has included this afternoon the Canary Islands in its green list of safe destinations to travel, as reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its website.
In this sense, the German Executive has reminded its citizens that travelers from risk areas must present a negative coronavirus test upon arrival to the islands.
In this regard, the President of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, has celebrated this decision of Germany and said that it is a "magnificent news" for the archipelago and for the economic reactivation that the Autonomous Community needs.
The German country has joined Holland, which since this Saturday allows travel to the Canary Islands without the need for visitors from this country to be tested or comply with a quarantine period upon returning from their holidays.
Also, Denmark will not require a ten-day quarantine upon return, from this Saturday, from seven Spanish regions, including the Canary Islands, as reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Minister of Tourism of the Government of the Canary Islands, Yaiza Castillo, has indicated that the new status in which the islands appear in the list published today by the Robert Koch Institute means "that our expectations with this market, within the prudence advised by the pandemic, are very positive, which is joined by the rate of vaccination in Germany, which already exceeds one million doses per day."
To accompany this return to the travel possibilities of Germans to the Canary Islands, the airlines have scheduled for this summer season (May to October) more than 1.1 million seats, which represent 78.2% of what was operated in the same period of 2019. In any case, it must be taken into account that the programming of the airlines varies constantly, conditioned by the sanitary measures that affect the demand for travel, variations that, above all, are more patent in short-term flights.
