You may very well be able to go on vacation abroad with some restrictions this year. But who wants that at all?
Starting June 15, the borders will be opened, at least to Switzerland’s neighboring countries, except Italy, if the infection rate does not increase again. Other holiday regions like Greece, Turkey and Croatia also want to allow foreign tourists to enter. At least in some European countries, a summer beach vacation or a city trip may be possible.
But Ms. And Mr. Swiss prefer to stay home, as a unrepresentative survey among SRF News users shows. We asked if summer vacations abroad were an option. More than 18,000 people responded. 69 percent of them want to do without it.
Too early to open?
Most of all, users are concerned that travel will spread the virus in travel countries or bring it back to Switzerland. A. Flück says: “It is precisely this mobility that leads to the rapid spread of the virus.” He asked whether a holiday abroad was absolutely necessary and indispensable: “Rather not. Especially not if it endangers the health of others.
This year we are going on vacation to beautiful Switzerland.
The pace of the initial steps also raises concerns. It would make more sense for M. Zelger “if the borders still remained this year to be able to observe the development of the number of cases.” If the pandemic weakens by the end of the year, one can speak of opening the border to tourism. “But this year we are going to spend a vacation in beautiful Switzerland,” he says and is pleased that the mountain railways will open from June 8 and the ships “will take us back through our beautiful lakes.”
With the idea of waiting until large numbers of people are immune or a vaccine is found, which could take years, this is difficult for M. Sommer, who is also concerned that there are many more people in Switzerland. when nobody goes abroad
With healthy blood pressure abroad
However, 31 percent of the more than 17,000 survey participants are not prevented from traveling abroad, even if travel enthusiasts make less use of their arguments in the comments. R. Künzi refers to your healthy blood pressure. D. Beck is looking forward to a vacation in Germany or Austria because he wants to avoid the noise and explosions of August 1st.
I really like the Greek people (…). I’m glad to leave my vacation there.
And M. Kaiser shows solidarity with the holiday regions: «I am very understanding of the Greek people, as modest as many other poorer countries. I’m glad to leave my vacation there. »
Stay home even during the holidays.
And then there are those who do not want to go abroad, either in Switzerland or abroad, but stay on balconies like M. Bossert: «I would not be going abroad on holiday at the moment, but I would not go to Switzerland either. You pay the full price, but you only get limited offers and freedom of movement. ” There are hardly any wild parties in this country, he explains his decision to move his best days of the year to Covid-19.
It will not be a normal summer for any of us.
One thing is clear: “It will not be a normal summer for any of us,” as EU Commissioner Margrethe Vestager put it on Wednesday.
