With planes and steamships and passengers in the middle: shocking changes in tourism



[ad_1]

The new crown pandemic brings shocking changes to tourism, with our vacations now less carefree and more sterile for public health.

Indicatively, it is foreseen the infrequent cleaning of the rooms in the hotels, nor the daily change of clothes, the abolition of the buffet is considered, while there will be a “roof” for the bathers in the pools.

However, the great thorn is on the side of tourism, since despite reports from the international press, there is no European agreement on air travel, and the government opts for Plan B with bilateral agreements if the European framework is not satisfactory. According to SKAI information, Kyriakos Mitsotakis had contact with the President of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, on the matter.

The new standards in hotels of the Ministry of Tourism

– Placement of plexiglass at the reception.

-Verify in outer space

– Frequent cleaning of rooms (to prevent people from entering frequently)

-Delivery of daily change of clothes

-Special jelly on TV and air conditioners. It will change when the client leaves.

-All hotels must have a health manager, who will be trained by EODY

-It is recommended to remove buffets.

-At least 1.5 meters are the chairs of the restaurants.

-Limit swimmers in pools

-The hammocks will be covered with a special fabric that will change for a bathtub

-3 meters away on the organized beaches between the umbrellas – At a disorganized distance of 5 meters. 3 different zones are created, one for families, one for vulnerable groups and one for others.

-In some hotels, individual grills are already used, instead of an outdoor one.

Airports

-Dividers at all counters, distances according to check in

-Mandatory mask for employees and passengers.

Boats

-Boats will now travel at 50% of capacity.

– An empty seat between two passengers will be maintained in the air-type seats.

Car rental – tourist buses

-Tourist buses will take 50% of passengers on day trips with the respective boats.

The use of antiseptics and masks will be recommended almost everywhere, while each company will have a plan to develop a crown case.

Movements

Regarding travel, there is a proposal for the launch of ferry services in Crete, Corfu and Rhodes from May 18. The final decision will be made at the end of the week. The specific islands have long-lasting health structures, while the restriction on air travel will be lifted.

A general release of the movements of the ferry is planned progressively from June 1 and always with respect to the health protocols to resist the health structures of the islands.
