Describing the axes for the restart of tourism, he said that first and foremost is security for both the local population and tourists, financial support for businesses and smart marketing moves (such as Greece from Home). Greek tourism seems to be moving in a 3-month tourist season, as Tourism Minister Haris Theocharis said in a televised address to SKAI and the “Unmatched”, noting that July, August and September will raise the burden of tourism. this year. Of course, he added that there are well-founded indications for the extension of the period in October and November. A prerequisite for the above is, of course, that there be no unexpected developments on the coroner’s front.

However, the big bet of the development of the tourist year is the safe entry and exit of our visitors to Greece and for this reason the “health passport” is promoted, as the minister mentioned in order to describe a “safe entry” methodology, as he said. In this regard, Mr. Theocharis stated that the EU is being consulted in order to make every European citizen who wants to travel a reliable test for the detection of the coronary artery. He even explained that this should be done in the country where the holidays start. If, for example, it is a German visitor, this test will take place in Germany before coming to Greece. In Greece, the first word on the test front will be EODY, as mentioned. The minister, after mentioning that one of the models for predicting the development of the tourist year this year also speaks of a 50% drop, added that the arrival of tourists from countries other than Europe is not expected in Greece. On the contrary, Greece maintains the advantage of a safe country in the Mediterranean, a very positive element, in the light of the “new things”.

Mr. Theocharis stated that he is in constant contact with the major tour operators abroad who express their intense interest in Greece and expect that the health protection measures will be unfolded in hotels, etc. Finally on his front. domestic tourism pointed out that it has been suggested to the financial staff incentives to strengthen it. His interview on SKAI radio “There are messages from abroad regarding tourism,” Tourism Minister Haris Theocharis told SKAI 100.3 earlier, noting that our country is one of the few countries in the Mediterranean that has expressed a positive image of the coronation crisis. Describing the axes for the restart of tourism, he said that first and foremost is security for both the local population and tourists, financial support for businesses and smart marketing moves (such as Greece from Home). He also said the government intends to reheat social tourism programs, as Greeks are the first to trust their country.
