Spain promotes destination as a safe sport and tourism hub

The Spanish government via Turespaña (National Tourism Board), the Ministry of Health and the Spanish High Council for Sport (CSD), LaLiga and the Confederation of Employers and Industries of Spain (CEOE) have come together in a bid to boost and promote Spain as a safe destination for tourism and sport in a campaign that will be given considerable visibility domestically and internationally over the remaining 11 rounds of fixtures in LaLiga Santander and LaLiga SmartBank.

“Spain is ready to safely welcome international tourists from July 1. We have thoroughly prepared to ensure we guarantee the highest safety standards across our whole tourism industry by rolling out over 20 uniform protocols for the entire country. We want tourists to feel confident and we are sending out a very clear message that will be amplified by this campaign: Spain is waiting for you,” said Oliver, Secretary of State for Tourism.

Lozano, President, SD said that she is aware of the effort that LaLiga has put in to ensure the competition can return safely and added that “It is time to savour the restart. A safe return has been outlined in accordance with a protocol that will allow the competition to start up again successfully. Everyone should know about the effort that we have put in. We know that there’s no such thing as a zero risk but all of us, with our footballers leading the way, are giving our absolute best and acting responsibly and sensibly to ensure everything goes well.”

Tebas, President, LaLiga admitted that he feels immensely proud that professional football can keep helping boost Spain’s visibility beyond our borders and help the country’s economy. Football and LaLiga play a key role in promoting Spain all over the world, which is why it’s so important for us to be part of this project now.
