After the vaccination summit: will corona vaccinated people soon be able to travel without restrictions? 

At the vaccination summit, the federal and state governments discussed possible easing for corona vaccinated and convalescent people.

Will there soon be more travel freedom for those affected?

The more people vaccinated, the louder the voices calling for relaxation.

Currently, 23.4 percent of Germans (as of April 26) have received at least the first vaccination - and thus almost one in four.

At the vaccination summit, the federal and state governments discussed, among other things, which corona restrictions for vaccinated and convalescent people could be removed.

Will travel restrictions for corona vaccinated people soon be lifted?

There are already many voices in politics

calling for more freedom for vaccinated people

.

This also includes Federal Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer (CSU) as well as politicians from the Bundestag faction of the Union, SPD, Greens and FDP, as the editorial network Germany reports.

However, there were no specific resolutions in this regard at the vaccination summit.

According to Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU), decisions on this will not be made until

May 28th

.

This is what tour operators say about the debate at the vaccination summit

The German Travel Association welcomes the fact that the federal and state governments are dealing with possible freedoms for those who have been vaccinated and recovered from corona.

However, it is "

disappointing that there was no concrete result

.

Neither a conclusive test concept was decided, nor were there specific times when vaccinated people could regain their basic rights. "

According to Chancellor Angela Merkel,

vaccination prioritization should

be

lifted

at

least in June

.

This is positive for the tour operator Tui: "With the announced vaccination for everyone from June, the prioritized vaccination of tourism employees in the holiday resorts and the digital green Corona certificate, the foundation for a good holiday season has been laid," says Marek Andryszak, Chairman of Tui Germany management.

.

For this, however, uniform rules are needed: “Europe and the USA should now jointly create the conditions for reducing travel restrictions for vaccinated people as well as blanket quarantine rules.

The first countries are already doing this and are opening their borders to vaccinated and tested people. ”In Europe, the green vaccination certificate is needed, which should be introduced quickly - the patchwork that currently prevails in the EU would weaken them in global competition.

This requires a schedule so that both travelers and the travel industry can make the necessary preparations.

Will it be possible to travel normally again in summer?

It is not yet foreseeable whether travel will be possible for everyone without any restrictions.

The German Travel Association is, however, in a positive mood "that there is

hardly anything to

prevent

summer vacation at home and abroad

".

For this, the vaccination must proceed quickly, but a transitional phase must also be defined, which also give people with negative corona tests more freedom.

Intelligent concepts, a coherent test strategy and sophisticated hygiene concepts in the target areas and within the entire travel chain - i.e. from the airport, via flight and transfer to the hotel or holiday home - are important.
