European Union expects summer tourist season despite COVID-19.
The European Union Executive Commission will propose a gradual opening of borders in an effort to launch a highly hit tourist industry by the coronary pandemic, reports Bbc, broadcast news.net.
Our message is that we will have a tourist season this summer,” said Economic Affairs Commissioner Paolo Gentillon, “even if it is with security measures and restrictions. ”
Borders have been closed across the EU, including the borderless Schengen zone.
But states have begun reopening them.
Austria and Germany have become the last EU nations to agree to lift travel restrictions, broadcast news.net.
From Friday, there will be random raids on border crossings, and then on June 15th, free movement should resume. “We want to make daily lives of easier people and take a step towards more normality,” said Chancellor Sebastian Kurz.
The crisis rate was illustrated by the tour giant Tui, announcing the loss of up to 8,000 jobs worldwide with plans to cut costs by 30%. The German government has granted the company an 1.8 billion-euro loan, giving them a loan to stay at sea.
