Spain is pushing for the introduction of a vaccine passport to help re-open the tourist industry.

If vaccine passports become mandatory to travel from the UK to Spain this summer then it looks like the tourism industry and all those who's livelihoods depend on it are in for another horrendous year. If the vaccination program here in the UK continues the way it's planned then people under 40 are unlikely to have received the vaccine in time for summer. What about families with children aged 16 and slightly older ? The parents might be vaccinated but the children won't so that means the holiday will be off. Sure the over 60's will be free to go but, and without sounding disrespectful, that age group is hardly likely to keep places like pubs, watersports etc.. going.
