On public holidays like Whitsun, many Germans usually go on vacation.

But what about during the Corona crisis in 2021?

That is a current forecast.

At Easter 2021, vacation * was hard to think of: Because of the ban on accommodation and the appeal to citizens to refrain from domestic and international travel, many Germans stayed at home or preferred to go on day trips.

But now the next holidays are coming up, which are often used for a vacation: the days around Pentecost.

In January, the Federal Government's Tourism Commissioner, Thomas Bareiß, predicted that tourism could slowly improve from Whitsun.

But how does it look now when it is almost there?

Corona: Vacation in Germany possible from June?

Due to the corona pandemic, many Germans are planning to spend their holidays in their own country in 2021. The Baltic and North Sea in particular are popular destinations that can currently even be visited as part of model projects. But when can trips in Germany be made again without restrictions and away from model projects? Thomas Bareiß spoke again on the subject and spoke to Bild-Zeitung about an upturn in tourism in summer: "I am very confident that

vacation trips will be possible in more and more regions from June onwards

." In his opinion, the lockdown should be allowed cannot be extended beyond June 30th.

The advancing vaccination campaign and the good security concepts of the hotels and restaurants make him confident.

He also explains to the Tagesspiegel on Sunday that he has "great hope in the Europe-wide digital corona vaccination passport".

The introduction of the vaccination pass is currently planned for the end of June.

It should serve as a supplementary document to the yellow vaccination booklet.

Those who have been vaccinated or recovered will also have to regain more freedom in the coming weeks, says Bareiß.

While Bareiß seemed a little more optimistic about traveling on Whitsun at the beginning of the year, he

now

estimates the

possibility of domestic

travel on

the holidays to be rather low

: "Unfortunately, that will fall into the water again in many holiday regions," he told

. The model regions in Schleswig-Holstein *, which are to be tested on how safe travel can be made despite Corona, are a glimmer of hope. If the incidence is low, these could be extended beyond May. In addition, many holiday countries such as Greece or Croatia are planning to revive tourism as quickly as possible and are now allowing quarantine-free entry again under certain conditions.
