No Roig Cat. I think he believes that Majorca will not be on the green list until late June at the earliest, and possibly later. So the knock on effect will possibly be that there may not be many hotels open. My own booking for The Miramar is a good example. They only opened for 2, maybe 3 months last year, and have moved this years opening date from April 1st initially, then to May 21st, now to June 16th. So it can't be too far away from a cut off date when it wouldn't be sensible business practise to open at all. God help all the Hotels, Bars, Restaurants - you can only take so much!! I think would not like to send us to a resort that was somewhat deserted, and he is concerned regarding what use travel insurance will be.
Also, we have until 5th June at the very latest to pay the balance, but Boris and his chum Schapps do not appear to be upgrading Spain to green status until a later date, leaving us to sweat it out for the next 12 months, possibly more - who knows how long this pandemic will last.
I know we are going with TUI, a very big company, so our money should be safe. But the situation is so serious that I believe it is not possible for every business to survive, and even TUI have been baled out 3 times in the last 2 years by the German government, and are now operating with around 2 billion pounds of debt.
The other big problem is that there are 5 children in our party, and missing school for 10 days is not deemed to be a risk worth taking.
Si all we can do is wait and see what 5th June brings. Just to help things along (not), we recently booked to flights to East Midlands to visit our son who lives n Leicester, only to find out on monday that travel there is not reccomended!! How lucky can we be??
