In August, a total of 49,000 checks for social tourism 2022-2023 were activated in tourist accommodations in the country, marking an increase of 4% compared to the number of checks activated in the corresponding period last year, according to an announcement by the Public Employment Service (PYPA). More than 5,500 sea freight checks were also activated.

It is recalled that holidays with the enhanced social tourism program 2022-2023 can be carried out until July 31, 2023 in tourist accommodations of the DYPA provider register.

As mentioned in the announcement, this is a program that is particularly enhanced and attractive this year for both the beneficiaries and the providers, as it is characterized by a reduced to zero private participation for the beneficiaries in the cost of the overnight stay in the tourist accommodation and increased subsidy prices for the providers.

Interested tourist accommodation providers who wish to participate in the program can submit a participation application until June 30, 2022, through the Unified Digital Portal of the Hellenic State gov.gr, at the address: https://www.gov.gr/upourgeia/ upourgeio-ergasias-kai-koinonikon-upotheseon/demosia-uperesia-apaskholeses-d-up/parohoi-tourismou.

Beneficiaries and beneficiaries can spend up to six nights in a tourist accommodation they choose from the “provider register” of DYPA, after their direct consultation with the provider. Especially, for accommodations in Leros, Lesvos, Chios, Kos and in the prefecture of Evros, up to 10 nights can be spent with zero private participation, while in the accommodations of the Municipalities of Istiaea-Edipsos and Mantoudi-Limni-Ag. Annas of N. Evia and Samos can take place up to 12 nights completely free of charge.

In addition to accommodation in tourist accommodation, ferry tickets are also subsidised. The participation of the general category of beneficiaries amounts to 25%, of those with many children to 20%. For the disabled, the ferry tickets are available free of charge.

Beneficiaries of last year’s program who have not yet activated the checks can take a vacation until July 31, 2022.
