The Greek Tourism Confederation (SETE) and 13 pan-Hellenic sectorial unions – all members of the Confederation – presented their proposals for the restart, sustainability, and competitiveness of the tourism sector in a letter sent to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Monday, ANA reports.
SETE members pointed out that tourism and transport cannot function without common European protocols for monitored transport hygiene.
These protocols must be realistic and sustainable and easy for small enterprises to implement and SETE announced that it will deliver a comprehensive plan by May 11.
The Confederation also asked for enhanced labor support programs throughout 2020, a reduction of VAT to 6.0 pct for hotels, to 13 pct for restaurants, to 13 pct for travel services, to 13 pct for domestic transport and 13 pct for sea transport.
SETE also proposed the suspension of a measure requiring advance payment of income tax.
