It’s an interesting time to meet with the head of the Spanish Tourist Office. It’s the end of April, Greece has just announced the suspension of the EU Entry-Exit System (EES) for the summer period following weeks of delays and disruption and all eyes are on whether other European destinations will follow suit.
But Manuel Butler, who is coming to the end of his tenure as director of the Spanish Tourist Office in London and is a vastly experienced pair of hands, is adamant. “Our stance is to accomplish what was agreed for the Spanish borders as part of the Schengen Area,” he insists with a smile. “And I think we are well prepared.”
