Greece to re-write tourism playbook for post Covid-19 reality

Packed pools, beaches and tour buses, as well as middle seats, hotel minibars and scrums at airport check-ins, may all be a thing of the past as Greece’s tourism industry attempts to reimagine the holiday in the wake of the coronavirus.

Travel will take place only under “specific new rules”, Greece’s tourism minister has said as he prepares to hold talks with his EU counterparts about life in the era of Covid-19 on Monday.

“If we are to think of the possibility of travelling this year it has to be under specific new rules,” says Harry Theoharis, the tourism minister of Greece, whose economy is especially dependent on the sector. “We have to have new rules for hotels, new rules for beaches, new rules for pools, new rules for breakfast buffets, new rules for tour buses.”
