Officials believe the island’s 800,000 population can be vaccinated within the next four months, making a travel corridor with the UK a realistic prospect this summer.
Any decision about travel to the island from the UK government would likely be swayed in Majorca’s favour if its population was shown to be vaccinated.
“We are very optimistic,” said Lucia Escribano, Majorca Tourism director. “We expect to have 70% of hotels open,” she added.
She said the island was awaiting a directive from the Madrid government as to whether a negative PCR test would be valid for entry to the island in addition to a health passport detailing vaccines.
