What the petition asks
To seriously reconsider the decision of not adding Greece and her islands to the UK Green Travel list. As of 6th May 2021, ALL of Greece is showing Green = less than 4% positivity rate, on the ECDC Map same as the Azores and Madeira which are included in the UK's Green List!
Greece's tourism accounts for over a quarter of the countrys GDP therefore its imperative that the country opens to UK tourism asap with it being one of its largest markets.
Greece has handled the pandemic incredibly well with very strict measures enforced for over 1 year and still ongoing - even more strict than the UK and therefore should not be regarded as a high risk for travel. The economic impact of another reduced Summer season could be devastating for the country's economy and citizens.
