The information was provided by the head of the parliamentary committee, Andreas Cuprianu, during a teleconference, but clarified that the issue will be finally settled only after the decision of the Council of Ministers, recommendations of epidemiologists and decrees of the Ministry of Health and Transport.
Local authorities expect to recover 30% of tourist flow and income, compared to the previous tourist season.
In 2021, millions of tourists are expected to arrive and revenues amounting to 800 million euros.
The decision to open the borders in the Republic of Cyprus and the beginning of the tourist season is due to the positive dynamics in the fight against coronavirus.
"According to the World Health Organization, Cyprus is the safest country out of a list of 184 countries," notes Cuprianou.
We are talking about both a low crime rate and a low incidence of Covid-19.
Recall that the easing of quarantine measures in the republic began on May 4, and the restoration of international air traffic and tourism will be on June 9.
The authorities of the republic announced that they would receive tourists from countries with a low incidence rate: Greece, Israel, Germany, Scandinavian states.
However, local authorities note that with the dynamics of the growth of morbidity, quarantine measures may be tightened again.
In turn, in the Russian Federation, the tourist season is also planned to open in June.
The head of Rostourism Zarina Doguzova said about the gradual exit of the tourism industry from quarantine. From June 1, the domestic tourism season will be open in the country.
According to Doguzova, at the first stage, sanatoriums with a medical license will be resumed in Russia. Some of the first to receive medical licenses were 65 sanatoriums and boarding houses from the resort town of Sochi. According to local authorities, from June 1, the resort is ready to receive about 40 thousand tourists.
Tourists will be able to come to Sochi only on a voucher, since all public places, including local beaches, are closed in the city. Only the beaches at the sanatoriums will be open. Local experts do not make clear predictions about when hotels without a medical license will open.
