The tourism sector, which employs about 150,000 people, has been hit tremendously by the COVID-19 pandemic. For more than 6,000 companies linked to tourism, property tax and income tax payments were deferred for 4 months until November 1st. In addition, 2,200 hotels, with a capacity of up to 50 rooms, received subsidies of 80% of a bank loan for 6 months. The companies will also have the opportunity to restructure their loans.
However, tourism workers and experts claim that the government assistance is insufficient and cannot compensate for the real damage caused to the industry and the people employed in it. While the hotel industry was still able to find an alternative income by transforming itself into COVID hotels, tour operators, guides and other tourism workers lost everything.
