The OTA said the the increase in Covid-19 cases in Europe, “particularly the spread of the virus to Tenerife”, had hit summer 2020 travel demand.

“The reduction in demand has accelerated significantly following the increase in Covid-19 cases in Europe, particularly the spread of the virus to Tenerife,” said the OTA.
