🏖Tourism is one of the sectors most affected by the Covid-19 outbreak.⁣ ⁣ ✈️🚫 Travel restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic have decimated the tourism industry, a major player in the EU economy. Many travellers have struggled to return home, while tourism businesses are facing issues as there are few new bookings and a large number of claims for refunds.⁣ ⁣ 🇪🇺 Businesses and workers from the tourism sector already benefit from EU measures taken in response to the Covid-19 crisis, including liquidity support, fiscal relief and an easing of state aid rules, as well as the temporary suspension of EU rules on airport slots to avoid empty flights.⁣ ⁣ 🧳 To protect travellers, the EU has updated the guidelines on passenger rights and the package travel directive. It has also facilitated the repatriation of tens of thousands of Europeans stranded abroad, through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. EU measures to support the tourism industry complement and reinforce measures taken at national level.⁣ ⁣ 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Hands up if you can’t wait to travel again! . . . #europeansagainstcovid19 #tourism #travel #travelling #EPEdinburgh #europeanparliament #eplos #eu #europeanunion #europeanpolitics #europe #democracy #europeansociety #european #europeanunion🇪🇺 #europeanculture #discoverEU #citizensrights #government #politics #scotland #edinburgh #scotlandisnow #scotland _insta #explorescotland #scotlandlife #scotlandtravel #igscotland
