According to the purpose of the measure, it is also necessary to address the question of whether tour operators and travel agencies are also included in the ban on the sale of accommodation. The answer is yes. Accommodation sold by a travel agency or tour operator as a single service or as part of a package tour is considered accommodation in terms of an emergency measure. Thus, travel agencies and tour operators cannot sell accommodation services or package tours that involve accommodation, which is to be provided during the time specified in the crisis measure. However, they may sell accommodation or package tours involving accommodation, where the stay is to be completed after the time specified in the crisis measure.
Being an entrepreneur in tourism is difficult today. Therefore, we carefully monitor state and other support measures for entrepreneurs. In the coming days, we will focus on the issue of employees.
