British travelers over the age of 12 must still be fully vaccinated or have a valid certificate showing they have recovered from the virus. Deputy Director of the Tourism Office apologized for the misunderstanding.
MailOnline contacted airlines and tour operators for information about possible compensation for unvaccinated passengers who were mistakenly booked.
The country is open to vaccinated Britons, yet they are not welcome.
The Spanish Tourist Office in London surprisingly retracted the announcement yesterday morning that the country would open to unvaccinated British holidaymakers.
The council said: Spain is open to all British travelers without restrictions – including those who have not been vaccinated – provided they show a negative test before departure.
The decision was reversed within hours, and the deputy director of the board of directors described the misreporting as a “misunderstanding” resulting from a “misunderstanding” of the rules contained in a statement from Spain’s health ministry.
To the dismay of thousands of eager holidaymakers, UK travelers aged 12 or over still need to show full vaccinations – or a health certificate within 180 days of travel – to enter the country.
The only exception to this is the 12-17 age group, who can enter the country without vaccination, if they prove they have had an approved negative PCR test within 72 hours prior to their arrival, he writes. daily Mail.
