Holidays across the world in the future will look incredibly different as vacation hotspots make plans restart tourism. But now, tourism chiefs in the popular holiday destination the Canary

Islands want holidaymakers to take a coronavirus test 72 hours before they leave their own country or on arrival. If they test positive, they could be sent straight back home. However, they

could also be asked to be put in quarantine. Spokesman for the regional government Julio Pérez said he would prefer that tourists come from home with the test done and negative but if they

did not, they plan to do so when they arrive in the Canary Islands. The ideal situation, said Mr Pérez, is that tourists arrive with a test at origin made in the 72 hours prior to the trip.

Mr Pérez said that on Thursday, thermographic cameras were installed in four airports in the Canary Islands and that it remains to be determined "how it works, how the controls are

carried out and who does them". READ MORE: CARAVAN & CAMPSITES: MARTIN LEWIS EXPLAINS HOW TO CLAIM REFUNDS Both regions have had extremely low cases of coronavirus deaths and

infections compared to the rest of the world. The Canary Islands have recorded 161 deaths from COVID-19 and 2,379 positive cases. Today, the country has no infections. The country is set to

“reopen for business” on July 1. However, on Monday and Tuesday, the first of 10,900 Germans will arrive in Mallorca and Ibiza to "test drive" coronavirus measures from the

airports through to the hotels and restaurants. The German tourists will not be required to take COVID-19 tests. Instead, the tourists will have their temperatures taken on arrival. Balearic

tourism minister Iago Negueruela said that 4,000 Germans will stay in Mallorca, 1,000 in Menorca and 1,000 will go to Ibiza and Formentera. Mr Negueruela explained that some of the plans

are still being finalised. Mr Negueruela said: "We care about their health, but we also care about where they will be located in case we need to contact them." They will then have

to fill in a detailed health questionnaire and remain in contact with the authorities in case they develop symptoms or have been in contact with someone who tests positive later on. The

Canary Islands are yet to decide whether they will join most of Spain in ending its State of Emergency on June 21. _ADDITIONAL REPORTING BY RITA SOBOT_
