New arrangements in Turkish hotels: people infected with Coronavir are compensated for their stay

According to The Sun, Turkey is one of the countries with which the UK government agreed to build so-called “air bridges”. Air Bridges would allow British travelers to visit foreign countries this summer without having to quarantine for 14 days, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also lifted the travel ban.

In June, Turkish Airlines resumed its flights between Turkey and the United Kingdom, offering three weekly routes from London Gatwick Airport to the Turkish tourist center of Antalya.

However, it should be noted that the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania states that visiting this country is not recommended.

“Turkey has opened its borders to European countries and is engaged in commercial flights. There are no direct flights to Lithuania. In view of the decision of the EU Member States to extend the ban on the entry of third-country nationals into space Schengen, direct flights are likely to start before August 1. “

Turkish safe tourism program

According to the Ministry of Foreign Relations, since July 1. A certified coronavirus-free system (covering airports, flights, charter flights, hotels and catering) was launched in Turkey. In accordance with the established requirements, the hotels are evaluated by international experts and must meet more than 130 established criteria. The certified institutions are marked with the “Safe Tourism” mark.

Passengers face the new protocol upon arrival at the airport, where their temperature is measured with thermal cameras. If it is above 37.8 or you have any other symptoms, they will have a free coronavirus test. If the result is negative, they can continue the journey.

In the event of a positive result, guests are sent to a hospital where, depending on the severity of the illness, they remain for treatment or are accommodated in a hotel. All hotels must provide a special separate compartment for guests infected with coronavirus and those in quarantine. They must also allow sick guests to remain at the expense of the hotel until full recovery.

According to The Telegraph, that plan stipulates that even if the quarantine period is longer than the vacation you’ve booked, you won’t have to pay for additional days of stay.

This year, however, tourists expect a completely different vacation in Turkey. Locals and tourists alike face a 900-lira fine (around 116 euros) if they don’t wear masks in public.

Turkey’s beaches also announce new plans this year. Smoking bans, tanning areas, and limited access are just a few of the innovations you can expect during your next vacation in this country.

As it turned out recently, a beach bar at a hotel in Bodrum asks for 369 liras (approximately 48 euros) for a portion of kebab from hotel guests, and 550 liras (approximately 70 euros) for swimming in the sea.

However, the city’s mayor openly supports that policy of entrepreneurs, stating that “still” if people agree to pay cosmic sums for food. “They can add 100,000 liras if they want. But there are also restaurants here that sell kebabs for 20 liras (2.57 euros).”

“Businesses in Čionykštė have already suffered a severe blow from the COVID-19 pandemic. They find it difficult to make ends meet,” said the mayor, adding: “Of course, that does not mean that they have to charge exorbitant prices to their customers “.
