The latest news, in order to promote the development of tourism, Greece’s entry requirements have been further relaxed, requiring inbound tourists to be vaccinated with any of the designated approved vaccines , There will be no need to produce a certificate of nucleic acid test results.
In May of this year, Greece issued a notice that Chinese citizens will enjoy exemption from entering the country.
However, this exemption treatment only applies to Greece, and it does not apply to other EU countries simultaneously.
The Greek New Coronavirus Expert Committee stated that the country has decided to approve four vaccines from the United States, including Pfizer, Modena, Johnson & Johnson, and Novavax, China’s three vaccines including Sinopharm vaccine, Kexing vaccine, and Cansino vaccine, as well as the Russian "Satellite V" vaccine, serve as valid proof of entry into Greece.
It can be seen that groups who have been vaccinated with China's Sinopharm vaccine, Kexing vaccine, and Cansino vaccine can go to Greece without showing a nucleic acid test certificate!
No need to isolate!
In addition, on June 11, EU member states agreed to relax travel restrictions during this summer's tourism season, allowing all vaccinated persons to be vaccinated without the need for new crown nucleic acid testing or isolation, and expanding the list of EU countries that are safe for tourists.
According to the plan of the Greek government, the Greek tourism industry officially opened on May 15th, hoping to achieve the expected goal-the number of tourists to reach half of the passenger flow in 2019. According to statistics, Greece’s tourist-related booking orders have increased significantly during the peak tourist season in August and September.
The Greek Minister of Tourism Harris Ossey Harris stated in 2019 that Chinese tourists have a special position in the future planning of the Greek tourism industry. The development of industry plays a vital role. Greece will welcome tourists from China as well as tourists who have been vaccinated against China. The country's goal for 2020-2021 is to attract more than 500,000 Chinese tourists.
Greece's move this time can be seen as an important measure to stimulate the development of the country's tourism industry.
