From June 15, the German government will lift its warning against foreign travel and will be opening the borders. Travel will be allowed to all EU member states plus five other countries, one of these being the UK.
Foreign affairs minister Heiko Maas says that he is "confident that it will again be possible to travel within Europe under normalised conditions before the start of our presidency", a reference to Germany having the EU presidency from the beginning of July.
While tour operators such as Tui are doing their best to convince Germans to have holidays in Mediterranean destinations such as Majorca, there are politicians who are calling for caution. For Markus Söder, the Christian Social Union president of Bavaria, "it is hard to imagine that hygiene and distance rules can be properly maintained at the Ballermann" (the Arenal Balneario 6 and partying area).

This is what I have been saying for weeks. The idiots who run tourism in Mallorca are deluded. They think they have something in Mallorca that is so magnetic, that open up and they will come. Errr no they won't, holidays are expensive and Mallorca ain't that great. Prepare for a disaster season!!
