Majorca Daily Bulletin reports that Spain is working on a vaccine passport with the EU, with Reyes stating that the country is "leading an initiative to adopt common protocols and generate the confidence that travellers need in order to once more make safe trips".
Earlier this month Maroto said that Spain would be ready to welcome tourists from the spring and that the country's "priority in 2021 is to reactivate tourism and resume safe mobility on a global scale as soon as possible."
