That’s great news Annis, but it must be a real dilemma for the people living on the Islands.
They totally rely on tourism and their whole economy depends on them
But the thought of thousands and thousands of tourists some of whom will be carrying the virus must fill them with dread. It must be a very difficult balancing act for them
What’s the general feeling over there about the tourists returning??

You are spot on they are in a real catch 22 situation. Because seeing pics from beaches in england lately,there are plenty I believe who would travel, for me,I'd love to,but I have decided to wa it till next year, when we hopefully will be out of this situation.for businesses on the islands,and on mainland spain,britains (I believe around 11m of them)visit spain and the islands,that's an awful lot of business that they could lose. Strange and hard times we are under.

Same with me, I have no intention of flying anywhere for a long time at least until we have a vaccine or cure which could be 1-2 years away.
The main problem for Brits will be getting home if you do become ill abroad
No new travel insurance policies will cover Covid, there is no guarantee you will be treated free of charge in most overseas hospitals and the option of flying home will be taken away from you as most airlines won’t let you on their planes with any symptoms
I love travelling and have been all over the World in the last 25 years, but it’s just to risky for me to even consider it at present
My wife and I are planning a 3 week tour of the U.K. when things start getting back to normal but that probably won’t be until next spring/summer

I agree, the problem is that the way the way things are going we'll be able to fly to Greece but won't be able to drive to the Welsh coast !!

I know it's a joke, only if you live less than five miles from the airport mind!

im not so sure... its one thing being taken ill in Lulworth cove where you can get home another altogether getting ill in Palma Nova where getting home will involve planes, airports , checks and possibly a refusal to fly .
how much of a concern that will be to people we will find out.. but it could be a catch 22 for both vendors and tourists.. timing is awful for the Med countries. if we were where we are now in early April there would be far less pressure and things could be slowed down somewhat..
its a catch 22 both ways...
