The Minister for Industry, Commerce and Tourism, Reyes Maroto, has participated in 'Dialogues for the future: tourism to come', a forum organized by eldiario.es, in which she highlighted the importance of repositioning Spain so that international tourism continues to choose us as a destination. "You have to have to convey confidence, because taking steps back would be the worst news."
The minister recalled that Spain is in a position to talk about the tourist season, "when a few weeks ago this issue was not on the table," and defended the need to act with caution. "It is not about being the first or running; certainties are the most important thing. We have reached an epidemiological situation that, at the moment, is controlled, and the decisions we make in the coming days must be based on rigor of the data, so as not to place the Spanish in a situation to which we do not want to return. "
"The ministers of tourism of the European Union are spending time rethinking how we are going to guarantee the safety of tourists and residents:" COVID-19 has changed the paradigm, and that is why we have to have security protocols and guidelines of good practices, which are tools to reinforce the image of Spain with the safe destination label, "he added.
