Friedrich Joussen, the CEO of TUI GROUP said Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, Bulgaria, Spain, Austria and Denmark are among the destinations that are “well prepared” for the summer tourist season.

Greece was listed first among destinations keen to see German tourists this year by the German newspaper "Bild am Sonntag" on Sunday, in a six-page spread on holiday possibilities for Germans at home and abroad, under the headline "Is the summer saved?"

The online edition of Spanish newspaper “ABC” posted an article entitled “Start of tourist activity in Greece on July 1” with a subheading reading: “Early pandemic restrictive measures and their observance by the Greeks, create a relatively optimistic climate.”
