Good morning everyone, about a year ago we wrote that the engine of tourism is going to start after several months of worldwide lockdown. This time we dare say it again but hope we are not wrong again. At the moment we feel that travel world is waking up and we intesify comunication with our partners, we see more requests coming and also we were proud to welcome in our destinations first tourists after so many months. Together with local improvement with all measures in our destinations we think that tourism in the second half of this year will fully restart. Good luck to our partners and looking forward to intensify our cooperation again. Greetings with love from Prague MARTIN TOPINKA CEO TURÍSTICO

Buenos días, nos alegramos mucho de poder transmitiros buenas noticias: las restricciones vinculadas con la enfermedad Covid-19 se estan soltando. Las fronteras de los países de Centro Europa se pueden cruzar sin problemas, los hoteles y restaurantes estan abiertos, las atracciones turísticas tambien. Comienza la época post-covid y significa que nuestra operativa esta completamente preparada para recibir a los turistas.En los meses pasados han sido canceladas practicamente todas las reservas para el 2020. De todas formas hemos aprovechado el tiempo y nos hemos dedicado en mejorar nuestra programación. Muchos companeros nos preguntaban por qué hacemos tanta actualizacion si el turismo nunca volverá a ser el mismo como antes… Antes o despues los turistas volverán a nuestros destinos asi era mi respuesta. Y creo que esto pasará pronto. Estoy convencido de que nuestra profesionalidad, programacion muy bien preparada y destino que es seguro, tranquilo y sobretodo muy interesante den a vosotros, nuestros partners B2B una confianza para vender a los clientes viajes a Centro Europa. Entonces movamos el motor global paralizado y asi comenzaremos a efectuar de nuevo nuestro trabajo. Les deseo mucha suerte, salud y clientes sin miedo a volver a descubrir el mundo. Saludos cordiales desde Praga MARTIN TOPINKA CEO TURÍSTICO

Advice and recommendations to travel again safely Security measures At Turistico we’re present in more destinations in more than 6 countries around the Central Europe, which means that security measures aren’t always going to be the same. In some places strict measures will be necessary, and in others, less so. Despite these differences, all these destinations have the common denominator that the safety of our travelers is put first and that every effort is made so that the experience of our clients is not affected by these measures. Some examples of the security measures implemented for the safe execution of Turistico’s tours are as follows: Strict control of the health and temperature of guidesbefore and after the guided tour and/or excursion. Reduced group size on guided toursand/or excursions to allow for a social distance of two metres. Obligatory use of masks and gloves throughout the tour. In some cases it will be the guide who offers this material for free to the clients. On excursions, a reduction in the capacity of the buses and/or minibusesto guarantee social distance, and exhaustive cleaning of the vehicle before and after the excursion. Pre-disinfected radios and headphones so the guide can be heard at an even greater distance. No printed material which could be contaminated will be handed out (maps, booklets, brochures etc). These safety measures are just some examples of the measures which are being implemented, although not all of these will be simultaneously implemented in all of our activities: they will be adapted to the health needs of each region, and always subject to the approval of the corresponding official bodies.   Advice and Recommendations Before travelling The first, and probably most important recommendation is that anyone presenting symptoms of the coronavirus should not even think about travelling. If there is even the slightest probability that you are infected with COVID-19 please contact the health
