Hotels and restaurants to open for those who are already protected?

Tamás Flesch, chairman of the Hungarian Hotel & Restaurant Association, said that Hungarians already started to book accommodations for Easter and April in hotels within the country.

According to hellovidek.hu, the association would like the government to allow hotels and restaurants to open for those people who are already protected against the virus. Mr Flesch added on Friday that such measures would have a very positive impact on the sector. He said that Hungarians already started to book accommodations for Easter and after April in hotels in the country. He added that he would be glad if the government considered the opportunity to allow those already protected against the virus to visit restaurants and hotels again.

He said that the time of the re-opening depends on how many employees hotels and restaurants could keep during the lockdown period. However, if they received the green light from the government, he believes that

most places would be able to re-open in two weeks.

In the case of Hungarian hotels, Mr Flesch expects a step-by-step re-opening, meaning that hotels in Budapest will not be able to expect foreign guests yet. However, accommodations in the countryside could start to receive domestic and protected guests which could help the financial problems of the sector a lot.
