POREC, Croatia, April 23 (Reuters) - The streets of Porec are almost deserted for now, but the picture-postcard Croatian resort is gearing up for what it hopes will be a busy summer tourist season, thanks to efforts to keep visitors and staff as COVID-free as possible.
Launched on Friday down the Adriatic coast in Dubrovnik, a multi-million-euro government campaign aims to get around 80,000 tourism workers vaccinated against the coronavirus in coming weeks, while offering guest subsidised tests.
Porec’s hoteliers expect its current trickle of visitors to turn into something more like the usual flood from mid-May as travel restrictions are gradually eased around Europe, and they are making sure they are well prepared.
