Even if the massive restrictions after Easter should gradually be eased, will employ the Corona pandemic in the country until the summer. Holiday countries such as Spain or Italy have not resolved the pandemic and the associated problems in the meantime to the extent that tourism is possible: “but I very much hope that we can make the in Parts of in the autumn holidays and, a fortiori, in the coming year.”
