Germany’s Federal Commissioner for Tourism, Thomas Bareiss, declared he believed his countrymen would be able to travel this summer and that Greece would very likely be a preferred destination.
“I hope that, given the good numbers, we will be able to relax the restrictions in the next four to eight weeks and that it will then be possible to gradually go on vacation again,” Bareiss noted in an interview with Der Tagesspiegel.
“I think the long-distance trips will be canceled this summer, but … I would not yet write off other regions in Europe, such as the Balearic Islands or the Greek Islands,” he added, revealing that Berlin is “already in talks with governments” in neighboring countries for allowing tourism to proceed to destinations that can be reached by cars, such as Austria, France, Belgium, Poland or The Netherlands.
