The Balearic Islands is the latest holiday hotspot to declare it will be open for British tourists within weeks.
The region, which includes Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza, is ready to welcome tourists - even though the UK Government is not allowing international travel until May 17 at the earliest.
Officials are hoping to capitalise on a relaxation of restrictions in Germany to kickstart tourism and challenge Greece, Cyprus and Turkey as the most popular Mediterranean destination for UK holidaymakers.
The first tourists from Germany are expected to arrive in Majorca before the end of this month - paving the way for British holidaymakers.
The region has already announced it wants to be first to allow foreign tourists back with vaccine passports.
Tourism Minister Iago Negueruela said: "The Balearics are working hard to recover demand as soon as possible.
"The islands are a safe destination and our aim is to establish safe corridors with regions of Germany that guarantee the arrival of German tourists this summer.
"Only in this way will the Balearic Islands once again be the tourism benchmark they have always been, as we demonstrated last summer when, despite the difficulties, we were the Spanish region which attracted the most foreign tourists in July and August."
Balearic Islands president Francina Armengol insisted that "from April and June we will be the leading tourist destination in the Mediterranean" and that in the Balearic Islands there will be "a slow and very controlled de-escalation to avoid spikes in contagion."
Spain's tourism minister Maria Reyes Maroto said it wanted to be a pioneer in introducing the immunity passports and confirmed her ministry was pursuing the idea.
“We want to be pioneers and we are the most active champions of digital vaccine passports to facilitate international mobility.”
She went on to refer to last year’s pilot scheme in the Balearics, which involved thousands of German tourists allowed into the islands a week before Spain officially re-opened its borders to foreign holidaymakers following a three-month shutdown.
She added: “We were pioneers with the Balearic travel corridor, by becoming the only country to open during the pandemic, and we’re working on being pioneers again and putting our foot on the accelerator.
“We have created an inter-ministerial commission to facilitate the use of digital Covid certificates and be able to launch a pilot project to test their efficiency when the pandemic allows us to.”
