Portugal have given a date when they expect to open to tourists across the world after lockdown.
The country is currently emerging from coronavirus lockdown measures and is looking ahead to the boosting its economy through tourism.
The popular Irish tourism spot has come up with a plan to get people back on the sand starting on June 6.
But sunbathers must stay 1.5 metres apart, with umbrellas at least three metres apart.
The Portuguese government says discos will be the last places to open, but many hotels intend to start reopening from June 1.
Among the changes being adopted: Guests will not check into their rooms until 24 hours after the last occupant has checked out, to allow time for thorough cleaning and airing of the space.
Waiting for sunbeds may come to an end as some hotel guests will get one for their own exclusive use.
Buffets are unlikely to be offered, but room service is expected to thrive.
“It’s a question of making people feel safe to travel and having confidence in the place where they’re going,” said Luis Araujo, president of the government agency Turismo de Portugal.
