For example, from the same video:<br><strong>\u2297<\/strong> &#8220;Spain is leading the way for the revival of international tourism, working actively to solve the problem of international mobility, which is at the root of the crisis in the sector&#8221; (8&#8217;30&#8221;-8&#8217;50&#8221;)<br><strong>\u2297<\/strong> &#8220;To solve this problem, Spain is implementing various initiatives to facilitate international and national travel&#8221; (9&#8217;17&#8221;-9&#8217;30&#8221;)<br><strong>\u2297<\/strong> &#8220;For example, [\u2026] since November, travellers coming from other countries must present, in our country, a proof of negative diagnosis&#8221; (9&#8217;27&#8221;-10&#8217;10&#8221;)<br><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamoncloa.gob.es\/presidente\/actividades\/Paginas\/2021\/210121-sanchez_omt.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The official communiqu\u00e9 reporting the intervention<\/a><\/span><\/strong> does not mention any new ban on tourism, nor a date for the reopening of tourism at state level (logically, since it was not prohibited at the time of the speech, except for third countries\u2026).<br><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">An intervention of the Minister for Tourism<\/span><\/strong> Reyes Maroto, 3 days later (January 22nd, 2021), which reaffirms that Spain hopes that international tourism will resume as soon as possible, namely from the end of spring.
