Tourism for all: extension of application deadline


The application deadline for Tourism for All 2024 has been extended to 11:59 pm on Monday 8 April 2024 due to increased interest from beneficiaries.

The Ministry of Tourism's “Τουρισμός για Όλους” program, implemented in collaboration with the Ministries of National Economy and Finance, Interior and Digital Governance, aims to strengthen domestic tourism activity and is part of the government's broader strategy to support Greek households and businesses in combating the effects of the global inflation crisis.

The purpose of the program is to provide financial assistance after the beneficiaries submit an electronic application and are selected through a lottery. The amounts are distributed as follows:

• 200 euros to individuals who meet the conditions defined in the Κ.Υ.Α of the program.

• 300 euros for individuals:

– unmarried people or widows/people with dependent children,

– married or cohabiting persons with three or more minor children,

– pensioners of all funds with a final decision on the assignment of an old-age pension until December 31, 2022.

• 400 euros for people with disabilities who have a valid decision on general disability of 67% or more at the time of filing the application, as well as for families with disabled children (who have a valid decision on total disability of 67% or more),

• In the case of a beneficiary who qualifies for more than one of the above categories, the application is classified into the category with the maximum subsidy amount.

• The above amounts relate solely to the beneficiary and are not increased in the case of dependent members.

The assistance amount is credited to an intangible digital debit card valid until 31/12/2024, which beneficiaries can use to stay at any hotel or accommodation in the location of their choice (repayable in one lump sum or in installments).
