Londons Gatwick Airport and plenty of people flying off on holiday but for those travelling to spain its a confusing time face with 2 weeks in quarantine on their return this teacher and her husband decided to cancel their trip to the countries south where we were going there is no outbreak so why dont some want them to look at regional madrid in barcelona like why not you know shut those down and then leave the tourist a bit.

All of them are perfectly traced. Europes biggest travel company to you has counseled all holidays in mainland spain for 2 weeks but its still flying people to spains Canary Islands and the erik islands is question the need for people returning from those destinations to self isolate one aljazeera staff member who just travel to minorca says people there were surprised we were quite frustrated when we had the news the numbers here are very low theyve implemented a very Strict Lockdown here and then it broke out very very strict wanted people have not been able to leave their houses and theyve done really well it keeping the numbers down here in minorca the real damage is likely to be to peoples confidence in traveling meaning a setback to the Aviation Industry and to spains Tourism Sector that accounts for 12 percent of the national economy.
