All who are this year raised their hands from Greece after the borders were closed and broke – He will leave next year, maybe he will experience a new disappointment. It may happen that they have to wait until 2022.

A group of hoteliers in Greece has demanded that the moratorium, which allows the state not to return money for arrangements that were not made due to the corona virus, be extended until 2025.

“The Greeks asked for such a moratorium, but it was not approved. There are no forecasts for next year. Unfortunately, nothing depends on us,” Utah President Aleksandar Senicic told B92.

Have you been on vacation this year?

So the problem is that currently Greek hoteliers have the option to return the money no earlier than January 1, 2022. years, so, as explained to us, they may not work next year and they will return the money only then.

“Everything is quite complicated and difficult to explain, so it is clear that the state must help and protect the money of its citizens,” Senicic concluded.

Passengers will not be harmed in any case, since in Serbia there is a return period until 2022.

In 2019, tourism covered 20 percent of Greece’s gross domestic product.

“We have a loss of 15 billion compared to 2019, when tourism revenue was 18 billion euros,” said Grigoris Tasios, president of the Greek Hotel Association.

According to Tasios, despite the difficulties, Greece has reopened to tourism, has entered the competition and has proven to be one of the best destinations in the Mediterranean creating a positive image.

“We have to keep going. We have to survive and take the next step,” Tasios said.

It remains to be seen whether the European Union’s aid package of 750 billion euros, of which 32 billion is earmarked for Greece, will help offset the huge losses, and not just in tourism.

One thing is for sure: if next year doesn’t bring significant improvements, it could have big consequences.

Although our country has had the fewest infected people in the region for weeks, the Greeks have been relentless and will keep the ramp down even after September 15.

With this decision, all hopes and speculations fall into the water that Helena will be able to enter the country with a negative PCR test.

It remains to be seen how all these decisions will affect next season, as our tourists have turned to other destinations this summer.

The question is how many of them wanted Greece and how many got to know other resorts and decided to spend the next season there too.
