Travel Guidelines

Issued by Italy, Spain, Turkey, Greece and Cyprus to British Tourists


Latest Travel Rules


In the near future, there will be rules for social distance, i.e. beaches, popular places and hotels will work with less capacity.

Going on a vacation is unlikely to happen any time soon after the travel sector says it is preparing for several years of chaos due to the global coronavirus pandemic.

The State Department has updated its travel advice to warn against unnecessary travel abroad indefinitely, and ministers are now facing pressure to give vacationers certainty.

Consumer group any? He said the restrictions, which had been in effect for 30 days until April 15, have now been extended for an "indefinite period", which would plunge travelers into "a great deal of confusion".

Social divergence rules will be applied for the foreseeable future, meaning that popular beaches, attractions, and hotels will operate at reduced capacity, allowing fewer visitors - if ever.

Many countries have also warned about how resorts implement 2-meter guidelines - especially in and around public places, according to the Mirror Online report.

And raises important questions about how to travel back to his feet once the borders across Europe are relaxed.

Italy



Italian ministers have warned that the holidays will never be the same again - with queues outside once crowded attractions, such as the Colosseum, are to be tightened in line with social distance guidelines.

The country said it was one of the worst-hit areas by the epidemic, killing 27,967 people so far and erasing billions of its economy.

Confturismo Tourism Council warned that the crisis will cost its economy 22 billion euros, as the country has reported 205,463 cases of coronaviruses so far.

It is not yet known when the measures will be lifted, including restrictions on movement. Some medical experts advise that social separation should continue until the end of the year.

"It will take a year or two to get back to our place, but it may also be written off in 2020," said Italian Tourism Minister Lorenza Bonacores.
"It is still impossible to say when Italy will emerge from a health emergency.
"This may be a good time to move away from mass tourism, towards one more environmentally friendly.
"You won't see long waiting lists outside the Colosseum you're used to."

Corti Tourism Association also believes that the industry should change.

They said: "Who would have the courage to ride a freesia Rossa high-speed train packed with 80 passengers or a low-cost airline of 270?"

Spain

Meanwhile, Spain is still in talks to reopen its borders, but has said that travelers from the UK may be outside the cards.

Spanish Tourism Minister Reyes Maruto said the death toll in the country had declined steadily over the past week, but the holidays are still under discussion.

She told the Spanish Newspaper El Pais: "We must ensure, when international tourism opens, that the person who comes to Spain is a safe person ...

"The boundary issue will be accompanied by the development of the health crisis.
"Therefore, I do not have a solution when [they will be able to open].
"Regarding how you can enjoy our beaches; we define different scenarios.
"It is extremely important to maintain healthy recommendations. We will have to understand what we are already doing now, hand washing, social exclusion ... even on the beaches.
"These patterns will be in our daily life for some time, you cannot step back a step back."

Greek Tourism Minister Harry Theoharis spoke of "specific new rules" for tourism during the mitral crisis.

"If we want to think about the possibility of traveling this year, it must be subject to specific new rules," said Thoharis, who is scheduled to hold talks with his counterparts in the European Union tomorrow.
"We must have new hotel rules, new beach rules, new swimming pool rules, new breakfast buffet rules, and new bus rules."

Regulations may include temperature checks and blood tests as passengers drop in the country.
In the same interview, Theoharis said he looked forward to a common set of rules for European Union countries that would allow people to move between the country and at the same time "economically meaningful".

He said, "For example, if you can fly with only 10 people on a plane to consider them safe, then it is clear that there will be no flight."

The Greek Federation of Tourism estimates that the country's tourism industry will only make 30% of what it did in 2019 due to the epidemic, and there are concerns about the impact of the knockout on the economy.

But if the warm weather leads to a respite, she has said that Greece could open its holiday destination in July.

While this sounds like good news, it may only be available to those from Eastern and Central Europe if the airlines continue to be suspended.

He said: "Once the procedures are eased, a good month will be needed to prepare the ground for the [tourist] engine to start.

"Tour operators are waiting and hoping that we can come up with the right rules so we can start bringing in visitors. We have to strike the right balance ... be careful and tough and take advantage of that."

Greece is expected to lose billions of euros in tourism as the mainland and islands close its borders to visitors, as 65% of hotels face bankruptcy.

Tourism in Cyprus


Cyprus may return to the travel map by July - but not for British visitors.

The popular island, which has seen 817 confirmed cases of the deadly Coronavirus, still has strict closures - but ministers are keen to raise tourism levels again.

Officials say the island will see a loss of 1.5 billion euros in tourism income as 60% of all holiday reservations are expected to be canceled.

A new request will also be submitted to allow tourism agents to issue vouchers for refunds, giving priority to domestic tourism as a way to bring money into the tourism industry in the short term.
"We hope that within a few weeks we will know when tourists will be able to come from these countries," said Savas Perdius, deputy minister of Cyprus Tourism.

He added: "The important thing is that travel agents are thinking about Cyprus ... There are positive signs from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Nordic countries, Greece, Israel and perhaps the Netherlands."

Turkey

Turkey plans to testify the British to demonstrate that they do not have the coronavirus to allow them to visit.

Turkish Minister of Culture and Tourism Mehmet Nuri Ersoy said that the normalization stage in Turkey could begin in the second week of May.

He told local media that vacationers will need an official document detailing their health while new measures will also be introduced in the tourism industry.

The certification system will include three pillars covering transportation, facilities and passengers who use the previous two pillars.

He explained that a certificate of immunity would also be required for international visitors.

"This is perhaps an example for the world we have developed. By gradually including all NGOs in the committee, we aim to quickly finalize this accreditation system in the first week of May," Ersoy said.

Staying in the UK

Accommodation is also still prohibited, as the British face fines of £ 60 immediately due to "unnecessary trips."

The government has stated that basic travel is very simple.

We only go outside our homes for food, health or travel reasons to and from work but only where you cannot work from home. Residence in the UK and travel to second homes are also not permitted.

Vacationers will also not be able to visit the coastal cities or other tourist areas of the UK "for some time to come" as the coronavirus crisis continues.
