Majorca tourism
Speculation about Mallorca "green list" said to be wrong
Mallorca's incidence is a quarter of the national average
The UK's green list for travel is due to be revealed by the end of the week. The date of the announcement for travel from May 17 has been subject to as much speculation as the countries on the list. One suggestion has been that the government wants to leave the decision until May 10, a week before travel can resume, in order to have as much up-to-date data as possible.

It is academic. The U.K. can put the islands on any list if wants. You seem to miss the point. Spain will not allow people in from the U.K. it has just extended it again for another month. The U.K. incidence is close to nil. But it is Spain who is killing the tourist industry as we are banned. Once Spain lets us in then we can think about what list it is on
What about those of us who have a postponed half term holiday rebooked from last year to this year? I have a villa booked for the whole family to celebrate my 60th birthday from last year. That week starts on May 29th - whatever traffic light our government gives Mallorca, Green or Amber, as it stands Spain does not allow us entry anyway as we are not an EU country and that is likely not to change "until June" - even the 1st June is too late for some of us. Crazy as Germans can enter and they have a much higher infection level and lower vaccination rate - so frustrating for us and all businesses in Mallorca!!!
Given Spain had said Brits can’t come in until sometime in June, what’s the point of mallorca lobbying for special treatment?
Like many other UK residents I am hoping that the UK will include the Balearics on the green list. However, we still plan to take our holiday in Majorca from 17th May even if the Balearics are on the Amber List as the quarantine on return isn’t an issue. Unless I am mistaken, we will not be allowed entry into Majorca and so the issue of which list Majorca will be on is irrelevant? Have I misunderstood something? We have both had two vaccinations and can comply with testing requirements at the time of our holiday but on May 17th I believe that we will not be allowed to visit Majorca for holiday purposes, due to restrictions on the Spanish border.
Leave the ban in place until next year. Better to be safe than sorry for both the locals and tourists.
I think freedom from covid is a long way off yet.
Spain is currently refusing to let British citizens into Spain. They have to look elsewhere. This policy sends out the wrong message. The British should be made to feel welcome in Spain, not locked out.
