?World tourism has been on pause since mid-March and many events have been postponed or cancelled. We have missed tourists and hope they will be back again, as we are now ready to welcome them amid best health conditions with high-standards of health prevention. Since many professional events have been postponed, the dynamic recovery of many is underway, which allows us to be reasonably confident for the summer. Business events should follow in the next fall, with three Grand prix scheduled to take place in Monaco in 2021. Hotels are offering flexible booking conditions, while maintaining the level of experience. One-to one e commerce convention will start from September 1, which will be followed by Monaco Yatch Show at the end of September,? said Sandrine Camia, deputy general manager, Monaco Government Tourist and Convention Authority
?The Government of Monaco and all tourism professionals are finalising a level which will guarantee visitors that all health measures have been taken for everyone?s safety. The standards will be specific to each facility, hotels, spas, restaurants, shops, transportation, museums and convention centres, so that we can guarantee a high level of security everywhere for everyone,? she added.
