So, Franceschini tried to allay fears about the long closure of the Schengen area, stating that “no one ever spoke of closed borders for tourism”.
“I’m Afraid that the fake news that borders will be closed until the end of 2020, was thrown deliberately. It is in order to redirect tourist flows to other countries. Moreover, recently at the meeting of tourism Ministers of the EU, in addition to the discussion on financial resources, we insisted on the need as soon as possible to determine uniform criteria for sanitary safety. The main purpose of this discussion – the ability to provide free movement within Europe. Without risks for the country of arrival. We must have identical protocols and standards of health protection. In this case, European Union citizens will be able to move,” said the Minister.
According to him, now he is discussing these matters with Germany, the country’s main tourist flow in Italy. However, he admits, the resumption of economic activities in the tourism sector and social interactions in General should happen only “if the guarantees of the impossibility of infection.” “But I think that, unfortunately, this summer the international tourism in both directions waiting for a strong decline. Therefore, we increased investment in the sector of domestic tourism. That is, this summer will be for the Italians, the holidays in Italy.”
the Approximate amount of state aid Franceschini did not say, explaining it is still ongoing in the Italian government negotiations, but explained that the intention of the authorities is to help and travel companies, and to provide financial assistance to families with lower-middle income and child support payments.
Among the measures of non-financial order, Franceschini, for its part, offers primarily to allow an increase in the number of outdoor tables. “Patronelli with the Minister (Minister of economy of Italy – approx.RG) we work in two directions: in the sphere of taxation of public lands and, in parallel, on the simplification of procedures of obtaining permits,” – said the Minister of tourism.
But to say the exact date, when will Italian restaurants and resorts, he still can’t.
“the Terms are still being discussed. We compare with the scientific and technical Commission criteria for safe gradual opening of all sectors in the jurisdiction of my Ministry. From resort to theaters, museums, cinemas and so on. Specific dates for tourism and for everything else, we will determine on the basis of the future course of the epidemic,” explained Franceschini.
the Minister Also promised the distribution of approximately EUR 1 billion from the common cash Fund and other sources, among the most in need of labor and TV��rezkimi teams in the field of tourism and culture. So, 130 million will be allocated for the live concerts and film premieres, but taking into account all possible security measures, said the Minister.
So, there is still no consensus on how to conduct theatrical performances if the distance between the actors should be at least two meters, but the play involves contact between the characters.
More clarity in museums, archaeological and architectural monuments of the Italian open may 18, but “on the basis of shopping subject to the distance between the visitors and the presence of protective mask on the face and the entrance to the queue”.
