Spain aims to reopen its borders to tourists at the end of June.
The country's transport minister Jose Luis Abalos confirmed this morning says the existing two week quarantine for overseas travellers will be phased out.
The move will give a much needed boost to the ravaged travel sector.
The news comes after the country imposed the quarantine, effectively closing its borders, to avoid importing a second wave of Covid-19.
But the move was meant to be temporary and Mr Abalos said it would be phased out in parallel with travel being allowed within Spain, whose regions are easing restrictions in different phases.
He told Spanish TV station TVE: "As soon as we Spaniards can travel to other provinces, foreigners will be able to come to Spain.
"From late June, we'll start the tourism activity, I hope.
"We must make Spain an attractive country from the health point of view."
Tourism account for over 12 per cent of Spain's economic output.
One of the worst-hit nations with 27,650 deaths and 231,350 infections, Spain is slowly easing a strict lockdown in place since mid-March which had meant for weeks people could not even go out for exercise.
The epidemic has put health services under severe stress and battered the economy, which could shrink as much as 12.4 per cent this year, the Bank of Spain has said.
Unemployment rose sharply in March and April, pushing the number of people depending on unemployment benefits to a record 5.2 million.
Including furloughed workers and people on medical leave, as many as seven million people are depending on the state, almost 30 per cent of the working population.
And despite life on the less populated Balearic and Canary Islands being virtually back to normal for locals, there are still no tourists in sight.
Mr Abalos added: "It is consistent with the phase-out plan. We can't allow foreigners to travel while the Spanish population is confined."
