Re-open EU also contains practical information provided by Member States on travel restrictions, public health and safety measures, such as physical distance or wearing masks, as well as other useful information such as tourist offers in each country and the EU.
The platform, which also comes with a mobile version (web application), centralizes up-todate information from the Commission and the Member States.

It is easily accessible through the application or website, and will be available in the 24 official languages of the EU.
The platform also contains information on sponsorship through vouchers, so that consumers can support hotels and restaurants by buying accommodation or meal vouchers after they reopen. Sponsorship of vouchers will help businesses to overcome bottlenecks cash.
