Can Spain’s tourism sector recover?

Available for over a year

As Spain opens up amid coronavirus concerns, we ask when its tourism sector might recover. Beatriz Lorenz is a tour guide on Tenerife, and thinks that tourists may stay away. Diego Barranca runs a holiday rental company in Marbella, and is worried about a proposed 14 day quarantine for visitors from overseas. And journalist Ivan Gelibter gives us his thoughts on the prospects for economic recovery. Also in the programme, as a number of airlines announce plans to take to the skies once more, Professor Joseph Allen, an expert at Harvard University on the risks of infectious diseases at airports and on planes, tells us how easy it will be to get people flying safely again. Plus, as many people on lockdown have been watching more streaming films and television series, American multiplex cinema owner Penn Ketchum says he’s not worried about getting people back in front of the big screen.
