Forget about the crowded pools and beaches, travel by bus with tourists this summer
Greece wants to open hotels in July
Offer empty middle seats on the plane
Italy reduces umbrellas by the sea
Crowded pools, beaches, tour buses will not be a common image this season in Greece or anywhere else in the EU, writes the British Guardian newspaper.
European countries are preparing new rules on how to travel. The issue was central to talks by EU tourism ministers meeting on Monday by video. The idea of creating a “call” call was approved.

The COVID-19 certificate will be issued by the countries of origin. It will be applied to travel to other countries and will guarantee that the passenger is not infected.
Until now, EU countries have been discussing whether European tourists should own it.

for travelers between Member States, the Croatian Presidency announced. They should be clarified. The importance of finding a harmonized solution for the financing of tour packages, including vouchers, was stressed to help rebuild the sector.
Greek Tourism Minister Haris Theoharis said on Sky TV that the recovery of tourism is only possible under “new specific rules”. They should apply to hotels, beaches, swimming pools, buses, even how breakfast will be possible in hotels.
If warm weather continues to slow the virus, as epidemiologists had hoped, the part of the July season could be saved and Greek hotels may open in July, Theoharis said. In addition to Greece, Portugal is particularly urgent for the rapid opening of the tourism market. Both countries have been handling the coronavirus crisis quite well so far.
The change in aviation was the subject of ideas a week ago: the proposal is to leave the intermediate seats empty, but there is still debate about whether this will be enough for social distance.
Various options are discussed at European level, such as measuring the temperature of passengers and performing blood tests for K-19 before flights. There is already an example in the world, a big one

passengers before boarding, departing within 10 min.
Greece insists that the rules must be common so that most Member States can revive the sector in the summer or in the autumn at the latest. Minister Teoharis says: “We need these rules so that people can move from one country to another by land, air and water. But they must be based on economic logic. For example, if you can only fly 10 people on a plane to be safe, obviously there will be no flight. “
Tourism is the big question mark in Italy right now. It has not yet been decided when the resorts will open. However, it is clear to everyone that this summer, if the epidemic solves it, tourism will mainly depend on Italian tourists.
Some resorts, such as Puglia, announced Monday that they would offer tourists
“Antivirus
Beach “
In addition to being specially organized, the umbrellas will be separated by ropes so that they do not enter foreign territory. In general, umbrellas on Italian beaches will be 30% less, says the beach manager, Fabrizio Mertzano.
There will also be shaped paths from the deck chairs to the sea so that tourists are not trapped.
Spain plans to open the famous resorts of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Frometera in late summer and early fall, but has announced that it will not accept British tourists due to the island’s late quarantine. Tourism Minister Reyes Marot said that tourists

distance from each other. However, he said it was not yet clear how this social distance would be ensured. The Spanish resort of Alicante has announced that its hotels will receive certificates “without K-19”. They will ban kisses, handshakes, maids will wear masks and gloves, and elevators will be controlled by voice commands. Certified hotels will have a special inscription on their facade.
Germany is among the countries strongly opposed to the premature opening of the tourist season in Europe. Last week, Foreign Minister Haiko Maas warned no one to be under any illusion about summer and beaches as in previous years. Mosa gave an example of what could happen with the emblematic case of the Austrian ski resort Ischgl, which infected hundreds of European tourists and then spread the virus to their countries. Last week, the Austrian authorities quarantined Ischgl. Maas believes that before such a measure of liberalization is taken, strict European criteria must be developed.
Recent European tourism figures will require a financial injection of € 375 billion to recover.
In Turkey, from the end of May, without buffets, hotels will be filled in half
Neighboring Turkey, which has no need to comply with European standards, is now ready with a plan to revive tourism. It will work in late May if the situation in the world continues to improve, Turkey’s Tourism and Culture Minister Mehmet Ersoy told the Hurriyet newspaper.
Then some of the hotels will open, those that receive a “health certificate”. It will be issued by a specially created committee of experts. These hotels will be required to provide 24-hour on-call service to qualified medical personnel. Your employees will undergo a daily medical exam and wear masks, gloves, and protective clothing.
Hotels will only operate at half capacity; if they have 500 rooms, tourists will stay in 250. No buffet service or any other type of open buffet will be offered. Instead, tourists will receive a full menu and tailored service.
The tables in the restaurants will be smaller so that the required distance is kept. The same measures will be introduced in cafes and entertainment venues. The number of hammocks will also be reduced on the beaches to guarantee social distance.
Minister Ersoy expects foreign tourists to start arriving in late August.
