MADRID (Reuters) - A recovery in Spanish tourism this summer depends on the successful rollout of international vaccination certificates and Britain adding Spain to its green list of safe destinations, the chief executive of Melia Hotels said on Wednesday.

"If that happens, I believe we can hope for a good summer, though far off from 2019's levels," Gabriel Escarrer told Reuters on the sidelines of Madrid's Fitur global travel congress.
