Tourism, Draghi: Italy is ready to host the world. National green pass from mid-May

Yesterday, a video conference was held to present the work of the Ministerial Summit on Tourism on the agenda of the G20 Italian Presidency, attended by tourism ministers from the 20 countries with the most developed economies in the world, and Prime Minister Mario Draghi opened by saying that Italy is now “once again open to hosting the world.” “I have no doubt that tourism in Italy will return as strong as before, and stronger than before,” he continued. “In the meantime, the government intends to offer help to the tourism industry, which has had so much damage from this prolonged closure and is pre-eminent in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP).”

Then the announcement, "We must offer clear and simple rules to ensure that tourists can come to us and travel to Italy safely. As of the second half of June, the Green Certificate will be fully operational within the European Union, to move freely from one country to another without quarantine. While waiting for the European certificate, the Italian government has introduced a national Green Pass, which will allow people to move freely between regions and will come into effect from the second half of May."

According to the G20 Guidelines, the future of tourism will be “more inclusive, sustainable, protect the environment and involve local communities.” "With some pride I can say that they will be remembered as the Rome G20 Guidelines. And interestingly they are based on seven points, seven like the Hills of Rome," said Tourism Minister Massimo Garavaglia referring to the Guidelines, and added, “Travel and tourism are the key to sustainable and balanced growth and development. The European pass will be operational from mid-June, but knowing what the rules are, to foreign tourists we can calmly say ’Book in Italy.’” Following are the seven key interconnected areas: safe mobility, crisis management, resilience, inclusiveness, green transformation, digital transition, investment and infrastructure.
