Tourism: Greece closes to Italians. Austria rejects opening borders with Italy.



Greece may be a top vacation destination, but for the British, Americans and Italians dreaming of getting away, the country will be off limits for some time. The government in Athens has left them off a list of 29 countries from which Greece will start accepting visitors, as it scrambles to mitigate the damage that the COVID-19 pandemic has spelled for its biggest money-making industry: tourism. 

The tourist flows of Italians to Greece exceed 1.5 million of tourists per year. Hellenic Republic relies heavily on tourism: Greece generated in 2019 revenues of 19 billion euros from tourism



Austria will open its borders to Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary in mid-June. Croatia, along with Italy, Spain, Greece and Slovenia, is not on the list yet

The tourist flows of Italians to Austria exceed 1 million of tourists per year. Italy confirmed the primacy of first tourist destination for the Austrians. The tourist flows from Austria to Italy last year were recording figures in sharp increase



Are these 2 candidates for the nobel prize in economics?

Haris Theocharis - Minister of Tourism of the Hellenic Republic

Elisabeth Köstinger - Minister for Sustainability and Tourism in the government of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz

Google Introduces Google Assistant Voice Match for Some Purchases

Image
Google has been rolling out a new Voice Match setting for voice-enabled purchases of some digital goods. It is available today on Android and even shows up in the Google Assistant app for iOS. Voice Match will enable you to complete purchases using Google Assistant by simply speaking. Android Police confirmed with Google that Voice Match for purchases is a new feature in pilot mode and in limited availability today: After you enable the setting, you probably won’t notice anything has changed, even if you try to make a purchase via the Assistant. We’re told that this early pilot is limited to in-app digital purchases through Google Play and restaurant orders for the time being. It doesn’t appear to work in our own tests for things like Google Shopping…Purchases made in this manner are also subject to limits, including a maximum (but undefined and presumably price-based) limit per transaction, and a similarly nebulous number of transactions per day.
