With the addition of Greece, the number of countries with which Turkey has signed agreements for the mutual recognition of Covid-19 vaccines and the abolition of travel restrictions has reached four.
After the COVID-19 epidemic took over the world, the tourism sector was disrupted due to measures such as quarantine, travel bans and suspension of flights.
The economy of tourism countries, which have a large share in the sector, also suffered serious losses.
Vaccination certificate agreements signed between countries bring the lifting of the travel ban and many more exemptions.
Here are the countries with which Turkey has mutual vaccination certificate agreements…
