Spain to let vaccinated travellers from non-EU countries in from June 7

MADRID - Spain will let people from non-EU countries who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 enter the country from June 7, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Friday.

The new rule will apply to vaccinated travellers regardless of their country of origin, and most notably from the United States, Sanchez said in a speech at the FITUR international tourism trade fair in Madrid. Speaking a day after the European Union reached a long-awaited deal for digital vaccine certificates, Sanchez said the return of tourism would be the key driver of Spain's economic recovery.
