Another British tour operator Jet2 has already scrapped flights and holidays to the Spanish islands until at least Aug. 10.“The reaction of the market could be seen immediately: the reservations were cancelled massively and hotels which had opened and depend only on Britain’s tourism, as clients return home, they will close down again,” said Maria Frontera, the head of a hotel association in Mallorca, the largest Balearic island.
Searches for Spanish airports dropped out of Britain’s top 10 most searched destinations on Sunday, the day after the announcement on quarantine, with Greece’s Corfu and Crete replacing Spain’s Alicante, Malaga, Tenerife and Palma. TUI UK, which had already cancelled holidays to mainland Spain until Aug. 10, criticised Britain for extending its recommendations across the whole of Spain when the outbreaks had only affected particular regions.
