Guidance on how to safely and gradually restore transport services across the EU
This Wednesday, the European Commission presented its Tourism and Transport package of guidelines and recommendations to help Member States gradually lift travel restrictions and allow tourism businesses to reopen while respecting health precautions. The guidelines present general principles as well as specific recommendations for air, rail, road and waterborne transport, covering – for example – limiting contact between passengers and transport workers - and passengers themselves, reducing, where feasible, the passenger density, and the use of personal protective equipment such as face masks. The package also includes a recommendation on making travel vouchers an attractive alternative to cash reimbursement for consumers.
