Today, the Commission presents a package of guidelines and recommendations to help Member States gradually lift travel restrictions and allow tourism businesses to reopen, after months of
lockdown, while respecting necessary health precautions.
The package also aims to help the EU tourism sector recover from the pandemic, by supporting businesses and ensuring that Europe continues to be the number one destination for visitors.
The Commission’s Tourism and Transport package includes an
overall strategy towards recovery in 2020 and beyond, a common approach
to restoring free movement and lifting restrictions at EU internal borders in a gradual and coordinated way, a framework to support the
gradual re-establishment of transport whilst ensuring the safety of passengers and personnel, a recommendation which aims to make
travel vouchers an attractive alternative to cash reimbursement for consumers and criteria for
restoring tourism activities safely and gradually and for developing health protocols for hospitality establishments such as hotels.
