Gran Canaria Oct yes or no
Jump to: Newest in thread
Just a wee survey who thinks yes or no we'll be able to travel for our holiday and much needed fun
YES OR No |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Would love to be able to say yes. But think no
As plane travel will be essential travel only. We'll all be back in work if you worked previously, will still have to observe a version of social distancing and no mass gatherings.
ie no big sporting events concerts or theatre events.

We are already booked up for October and have been since about Christmas. However Ryanair has cancelled our return flight so we have accommodation on the flight out but no way of getting home.
We suspect that Ryanair is rethinking their entire winter schedule. |

If you think you will travel outside the Uk till there is a vaccine you are deluded. I think before any travel overseas you will need a travel card to say you have been vaccinated. Hope I’m wrong. |

Some mixed replies to the yes " no answer Spain has opened some businesses so that's a positive sign ? |

No sign or mention of any tourists being allowed in any time soon. We're resigned to the fact that our July holiday will be cancelled and we're just going to have to wait before deciding on booking for October. |

We think No, unfortunately, as a second wave of coronavirus is predicted when the winter flu season arrives. Without a vaccine, it would be madness for any country to allow tourists to return. As GC is a small island, it can remain pretty much sterile, if it keeps the tourists away. |

As I posted on another thread looks like 2022 before normal life returns and after a vaccine |

People keep going on about a vaccine there won't be one, this virus in one strain or another has been around for years and no vaccine. So live with it because science isn't going to help us this time, if it could the world wouldn't have gone into lockdown think about it. |

NO,
Anyone saying yes to going to PDI swinging in the next 6 months at least either has a death wish or is just desperate!

Think people are confused with coronavirus and covid-19. Covid-19 is a strain of the coronavirus, as is the common cold and seasonal flu but it's a new, or novel virus, so none of us have immunity. There will be a vaccine but just as seasonal flu mutates and different strains prevail, so covid-19 is likely to do so and will become an addition to seasonal flu. Immunity will build, over time but there will never be 100% immunity. The unpredictability of how it affects different people, to different extents, is the aggravating factor, which sets covid-19 apart from other viruses......in my opinion |

Coronavirus itself is not a sexually transmitted disease. But as during sex there is very close contact between two individuals, the chance of someone contracting the virus from another infected person is almost 100%
While it would be relatively easy to spot someone at a club who is symptomatic, the problem is that many people may not know they have coronavirus for a while – and might feel ok enough to venture to a club but it can take five to six days before clinical signs start. |

At the beginning of March we had 10 reported deaths in the U.K. Now that figure has risen to around 15,000 if you include deaths outside of hospitals.
Yet some idiots are counting down the days to be allowed to travel to a PDI club... |

Really don't think we're idiots at all we're responsible adults and of course we'll take advise from the government if we should be allowed to safely travel of course if it's not safe then we'll definitely not be going without question .... we can still enjoy our holiday with maybe no fun attached am sure we're all looking forward to getting some sun on our backs |

Read previous posts on various threads in this forum and you will identify the people I am referring to as idiots. They are certainly not behaving responsibly. Also just because the government lifts travel restrictions it doesn’t mean it is safe to attend sex parties! Unless you are packing a Hazmat Suit in your luggage. However wearing it in the clubs will probably ruin the experience. |

Surely we're not safe to travel until the virus is eradicated, or we are tested for immunity. It would be nice to know that was imminent, but realistically, it isnt. We are all desperate for our holidays, wherever that may be. |

I agree. We just all need to be patient.
It’s like staying at home right now, we all need to do it as the government keeps telling us. This I the only way to slow it down.
I cannot understand why some people are disagreeing with what I have said. I guess they just don’t like to hear the truth.
At the end of the day it’s not just their health they are risking but more importantly other peoples.
Everyone is having to make massive sacrifices throughout all this pandemic, for example not seeing loved ones or struggling financially. So if they cannot sacrifice a bit of swinging for 12 months then they need to take a long look at themselves. |

I would love to be able to jump on the plane and fly straight out there now but things have changed...and when they will go back to how they were or if they will is anyone’s guess.
By class I assume you mean glass. To answer that I am just being realistic and sensible. Which in these situations you need to be otherwise we will have a second wave of the pandemic. |

Nobody is saying we all jump on a plane right now " we're all living in hope by October things will be good to travel and like I've said in previous messages if the government says all is good to travel with no risks then I'll be on that plane and of course if there's any doubt about my health then of course there's absolutely know why I'll be travelling |

They will eventually lift travel restrictions but they certainly will not say that there is no risk.
Also when travel is allowed the government and local authorities are not assuming you will be heading straight to a sex club. ...! Common sense needs to be adhered to.
Everyone will have to make their own judgements, hopefully they will use their head and not their cock to decide. |

Just read through the posts in this forum.
Can i just add that not everyone on here goes to gran canaria looking to attend the clubs and have sex. Some have vanilla friends and extended family who we'd like to see. The swinging side for us is not an essential part of the visit.
I also believe it will be a long time before anyone can travel for holidays. Our original response was a way of having something to look forward too beyond all the doom and gloom that is about at present. |

This is the new normal for the time being and will be for some time. We're all affected in different ways, for us, it is not seeing our 8 grandchildren. My 90 year old Dad is on his own and I'm missing him, so much.So for me personally, holidays are on the bottom of my list. |

This is exactly what I mean.. I went to PDI at the end of November and since then the world has become a different place. After all this I am not sure I would even want to sit arm to arm with a stranger on an aeroplane again let alone go back into the clubs full of people of all nationalities.
It’s nice to dream of going back but like you say it’s the least of my priorities right now. |

Spain have already mentioned that tourist may have to adopt social distance measures on the beach and in restaurants when the open up again. They have only started to lift lockdown on Monday So to think that tourist will not be permitted to visit in October is off the mark |

Lockdown is still in place for another 3 weeks according to my friends on the island. They are hoping then they will be able to go out and take exercise. It sounds like businesses will start opening on a gradual basis with bars and restaurants being last but they are unsure. They are just frustrated they can't exercise daily like we can. |

I do apologise for calling people deluded. But if you think countries will allow travel without a Covid-19 Health clearance travel card. Then you are deluded. |

I see the childish game of "i know more than you" and "i'm right so you are wrong" is rearing its head again.
Perhaps we need to get our own house in order before we start assuming about the situation elsewhere. How things develop within our own shores is where the real threat to any future holidays lays at the present time, and ultimately will dictate if and when we can travel anywhere.
And remember......another's opinion is just that, an opinion, and by definition cannot be wrong. So let's allow others to express their personal opinion without trying to belittle them.

"Just a wee survey who thinks yes or no we'll be able to travel for our holiday and much needed fun
YES OR No "
We're thinking Dec would be possible and have transfer booked for then but still undecided if it will happen. |

If lived on the island of GC the last people I would want there is plane loads of overseas swingers . Perhaps the island will clean up its act and close all the clubs for good and re market itself . |

Would you also like them to close down the gay bars in Yumbo too?Tourism is one of their biggest industries, numerous islanders depend on it for their livelihoods, I do think they might object!

I suppose anything is possible in the current climate, but I doubt it.
I used to visit PDI a lot in the early/mid 90's long before the swinger scene really took off there.
In those days the place was very busy and had a good fresh feel about it. The Irish quarter (around the Greenfield) the Kasbah and Metro centres were all packed at night.
When we visited again a few years ago (this time on a swinger holiday) I noticed a huge difference.
While the swinger scene and the gay bars were busy, the rest of the place was eerily quiet and to be honest I thought looked more than a little run down.
While we would certainly go back one day for a swinger holiday, it would be way down the list for a vanilla beach holiday.
It will take quite some time for any kind of tourism to get going again so shutting down the swinger and gay scene permanently would be a very big mistake. |

Good post. I agree PDI is run down.
However maybe a switch from the swinger tourist to the vanilla holiday makers, ie families, young ones and the anyone inbetween would be a better move. As this demographic will bring in more money. Not only is it a wider group but they will also spend more money especially during the day...while the typical swinger sleeps it off or sunbathes by the pool or beach. At night time once in a club they are doing activities more than spending money.
To attract more tourism obviously money needs to be spent. It’s got to be worth it to them though long term as the island is a prime holiday location with year round sunshine and easily accessible for most of Europe.

We have always said we wouldn't go to PDI for a vanilla holiday. It is a little run down now, but we always enjoyed the club nightlife. That obviously will change, until all this is sorted, the question is when, unfortunately... |

It’s a shame if it is lost forever.
It does have a certain charm for a non vanilla holiday. Each time you go nothing much changes, just a little more run down than the last time you went.
For a swinging holiday it doesn’t bother me as long as the hotel is good and the rest is down to the people. |

Once lockdown lifted Spain is going to enforce 6ft social distancing on beaches, hotels etc until vaccine or immunity which they say could be 18 months, can't see how the clubs and this lifestyle would flourish out there to be honest |

They won't be able to , with the distancing, also other little bars. |

Even if it’s possible to go in October, I don’t think we’d be visiting any clubs, and that’s if the clubs still exist anyway.
Pdi will not magically return to how we know it.
I suspect it will just be another beach holiday destination for quite a while.
By nature, swingers clubs involve people having close contact , if Spanish government keeps rules of social distancing after their isolation is lifted, I can’t see how any of the swinging venues can possibly survive |

Just copied this from an article I've just been reading.
"If the pandemic gets under control, Spain anticipates a total resumption of work activity in two phases, as Labour Minister Yolanda Díaz confirmed.
She said one will cover the productive sectors until the summer, while the other, will last until the end of the year and which would affect tourism, culture or leisure".
That sounds pretty grim for the whole of this year. |

PDI run down? We must go to a different PDI! We would go there for a vanilla holiday, if fact last year we didn't go to any clubs. Booked for next March (with fingers crossed!). We'll have maybe one club night and have great nights at Sparkles and Shenanigans Irish bar. |

The value of tourism to Spains GDP is only around 12%(hard to be exact, as the last published figures are 2017), not that much more than tourism contributes to UK GDP. So they don't exactly rely on it.....and also a certain percentage of that is domestic generated. The smaller economies, the likes of the Caribbean Islands, depend on it much more, in that respect |

In answer to the original question posed 6 weeks ago; Yes, we probably will be able to travel to GC in October, but No, I wouldn't want to.
As seasoned travellers to GC we have built up a pretty wide network of friends who are residents over there.
Feedback from all of them is that their lockdown is very restrictive and shows no signs of being loosened.
Here is one depressing quote yesterday from a Gran Canarian couple who love the clubs and who many of you will have met;
"Here in GC is worse than anywhere else, complete lockdown, only allowed to leave the house for supermarket or doctor, nothing else."
They recommend that we in the UK keep ourselves informed by looking at local GC media such as the Tiempo de Canarias website - which has an English language option.
https://tiempodecanarias.com/

As this thread is about Gran Canaria and the effect of the loss of tourism due to COVID-19 shouldn't you have quoted the contribution that tourism adds to the GDP for the Canaries rather than Spain as a whole?
Don't worry....i've done it for you.
Not surprisingly tourism was responsible for 84.9% of the GDP for the region in 2018. With a year on year growth of 2.8% the projected figure for 2020 is 85.46%.
So....i would say they DO rely on it very heavily, don't you agree?

Although nothing to do with the Canary's specifically, but while we are on the subject of beer.
The Germans have just cancelled Oktoberfest.  and that is many months away.
I suppose it could be slightly relevant to the islands if only as an indication of how Europe is thinking in general. |

The President of the Canary Islands has highlighted the exceptional and difficult position that the Canary Islands are in due to Coronavirus. They are the least affected area of Spain in terms of case numbers but the most economically damaged.
He expects Canarian government revenues in 2020 to drop by at least 25% (a 600 million euro shortfall).
He also said that from an economic perspective the islands' hotels cannot stay closed for the whole of 2020.
The Canarian authorities plan to allow hotels to open as soon as is prudent. He warned that June is likely to be too soon but that hotels could open in July and August for inter-island and national tourism. He also stated that international tourists could start to return from October.
This time frame depends on other European countries opening up their borders and airspace, and on the return of international flights.
This is the latest news (in the last 10 mins) |

As it stands, nobody knows what will happen and when.
The fact Germany have already cancelled octoberfest says a lot.
They are way ahead of other countries in the way they have been controlling things yet feel the need to take steps that are 6 months away.
It is a near certainty that a 2nd wave will follow when lockdowns are reduced so there is a likelyhood that 2020 will be a write-off for holidays to GC
Especially tourists going from the UK.
Our Government is a laughing stock in Europe in the way this has been dealt with so why on earth would GC want to let us in untill our house is in order? |

The after reopening I hope many of our colleagues with bars and restaurants will survive this as there is no or little help from the government!
The help we get is not enough to pay the bills from closing from March 14 till the end of this year.
Many of us don't have the financial resources and mentally it's very unsure for all self employed....
Hard times are coming....  |

We don't think it's even worth looking at October RB, no vaccine means almost certainly a second wave will hit, when lockdown is relaxed....they will actually only relax lockdown to ease fatigue and also(surprisingly)to increase the level of infection, as that will(hopefully) increase numbers with some degree of immunity. They are attempting to control spread, it won't go away until there is a vaccine, or numbers that have been infected and developed immunity reach around 90%, ie herd immunity, which will effectively halt the spread. No matter how dependent places are on tourism, to relax restrictions and then face a second lockdown, once infection/death rates start to rise again, is more costly in the long run. No vaccine, no complete end to restrictions....simple as that.
In some other forums, idiots are saying that GC should go against the Spanish mainland and open up immediately to tourists.....one idiot argued that there was nothing stopping people getting flights from UK to GC now and that it was only Foreign and Commonwealth Office 'advice' against travel... anyone here still got a flight that's going to GC? and with no likelihood of travel insurance covering anything covid-19 related, it's pretty much book at your own risk.
Horrible times but until they sort out the airports /planes /hotels /restaurants etc holidays aren't going to resume. If you were on the first flight to return to GC, would you expect it to be like the GC of old??

I work abroad, just managed to get home this time.
Hopefully, they may start releasing flights to places that tend to take more business passengers, see if we create any flare ups and take it from there.
Don't envy the person making these decisions, its great fun to comment in a 'pub talk' fashion on various sites but making the decision to start flights will need you wearing your big boys pants.
I am looking forward to getting back into work, the novelty of WFH wearing thin.

Extremely easy to social distance round pool / on beach / in bars and restaurants with outside terraces. We’re booked for October and not sure if we’ll go but social distancing won’t be a deciding factor. More than happy to soak up the atmosphere without any play |

So they are looking to open up for international tourists from October. There will obviously still be some social distancing and could work for outside areas. I would just find it a little stifling and we have to be confident that we're not going to airports, on planes etc and may pick up the virus, not sure how that would work. At least for GC themselves, it looks like they will soon be out and about and hopefully no one travels there, carrying the virus, as well as their luggage |

The huge issue is and will be the airports/planes/transfers. I doubt, without a vaccine/immunity certificates, that the clubs will be allowed to reopen....and if they did, would you really want to go there? We had the issue, last October, with the beggar that was spitting at people....imagine that happening, in the current climate?
I expect our first holiday back to entirely be a vanilla one, with purely social interaction, at least that's what I'm thinking for now.....stay safe! |

I guess the beggar didn't like you, we had a great time Nov 19 and Feb20 and didn't get spat on once.

He didn't like a good few people, the restaurant owners and management of the complex knew about him and Police presence was high in the area after a few similar reports. Having been 2/3 times a year, for the last 7/8 years, we know the place well enough and were just commenting in the context of covid-19. Thanks |

Wouldn't consider making a decision at the moment. Be interesting to see if the numbers go up in countries coming out of lockdown.
If the numbers stay fairly constant there's a chance, if they soar, think this will be an ongoing problem for some time yet.
Stay safe everyone, health first, holiday second.

We were booked for 15th March, but that obviously was cancelled. We had already booked for the Abora Caterina for early November, and hopefully will still be going. Even if the Swinging clubs can't open we would like to support the many businesses owned by friends we have made over the last 4 years. They will need all our support to help them get back on their feet.
We have also had a holiday to Prague in June cancelled so will try to support UK by taking another staycation. |

Why would any government with any sense invite people back the island that has 30,000 deaths from virus back anytime this year. Financial is the only reason. May happen. Spanish mainland say no international tourism until at least October. All dependant on no increase it contamination or death. Both of which are definitely going to increase with the first flight in !!! |

Only need face masks in doors according to the experts, so on the beach 6 feet apart is ok.

You arrive at airport..2m distance as you get off plane...2m distance through passport control...2m distance at baggage turnable..all this with 160 people off only one flight ??? Good luck. Can just imagine the chaos delay to and from your resort. Best guest including plane airport transfers 10 hours to hotel minimum? |
