Greece announces final beneficiary lists for 'Tourism for All' program

Greece has officially announced the final lists of beneficiaries for the "Tourism for All" program, enabling eligible individuals to verify their selection status via the program's online platform. Applicants can check their status using their application number, with the lists displaying the last four digits of the applicant's tax identification number (AFM) and their draw order.

The program distinguishes between high and low season applications, with separate lists for each. Once selected, beneficiaries will receive digital, intangible cards issued by their chosen banks within two days. These cards will be activated following instructions sent via message and email, which will include a link for password creation. The digital card can then be used immediately for its intended purpose.

The digital card is exclusively for accommodation expenses within Greece, usable at hotels, campsites, and similar establishments. Transactions can be made electronically, either through online bookings or via point-of-sale (POS) terminals. Importantly, the card's validity is restricted to the declared period, either high or low season, after which it becomes inactive.

Subsidy amounts vary based on the season and beneficiary category. Basic category recipients receive €200 for the high season and €300 for the low season. For specific groups like large families (three or more children), retirees, and individuals with disabilities (over 67%), the subsidies increase to €300 for the high season and €400 for the low season. Families with four or more children receive an additional €50 per child beyond the fourth. These subsidy amounts apply per application and beneficiary, not per family member.

For the second phase of the program, there will be no new applications or draws. Instead, beneficiaries will be selected from the existing pool of non-selected applicants, maintaining their original draw order. The subsidy amounts will remain consistent across all beneficiaries.
