The travel industry is deeply disappointed with the government’s advice to the Dutch not to travel until January. Branch organization ANVR speaks of a disproportionate measure and yet another blow.
“Of course we have to respect the choice that the cabinet makes on the advice of the RIVM. But this is a dramatic message for our travel companies that have been practically inactive for more than eight months and who still had a little hope for this autumn and the Christmas holidays. “, says chairman Frank Oostdam of the ANVR.
According to the industry club, only 2 percent of all corona infections can be traced to travel and the industry uses strict protocols everywhere. “It’s not about where you are, it’s how you behave.”
The sector is particularly surprised by the fact that the negative advice also applies to ‘yellow’ areas with few infections. The ANVR would like to consult with the government and hopes that the decision can be reconsidered.
