The Commission has presented a package of guidelines and recommendations to help member states gradually lift travel restrictions and allow tourism businesses to reopen safely after months of lockdown. 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: a strategy towards recovery in 2020 and beyond; a common approach to restoring free movement and lifting restrictions at EU internal borders; a framework to support the gradual re-establishment of transport while ensuring the safety of passengers and personnel; a recommendation aiming to make travel vouchers an attractive alternative to cash reimbursement for consumers; and finally criteria for restoring tourism activities safely and gradually and for developing health protocols for hotels and restaurants.

A press release and a Q&A are available online.
