British tourists won’t be allowed to Tenerife until October at the earliest

British holidaymakers won’t be allowed into Tenerife until at least October, the island’s government ministers have said.

Canary Island president, Angel Victor Torres, has said they will begin to bring their tourism industry back to life gradually.

The Canary Islands were the first place to get coronavirus in Spain, with Tenerife finding itself at the centre of the outbreak. 

Us Brits love a holiday to Tenerife, and it will be greatly missed until we can go back – hopefully in October, but of course public safety comes first.

The Canary Islands’ regional government has announced that it will not open the area up to holidaymakers from abroad until at least October, during the third phase of its return to normality. 

The first phase of the reactivation of tourism will see residents of the islands being given precedence, followed by the second phase of tourism from the country’s mainland.

In a press conference at the weekend, Tores said the Canary Islands were drawing closer to normality: “We are defeating coronavirus and the curve is clearly descending, we will recover the normality that we long for today, doing what we all did before March 14. Today we are much closer to that.”
