Providers who submitted an online application for participation have the right to submit a single objection against the results from 03.08.2022 at 11:00 a.m. to 05.08.2022 at 10:00 a.m.

The appeal is submitted exclusively electronically through the Unified Digital Portal of the Public Administration (gov.gr) at the address: https://www.gov.gr/ipiresies/ergasia-kai-asphalise/apozemioseis-kai-parokhes/parokhoi-koinonikou-tourismou-gia-suntaxioukhous-eephka-proen-oaee

Specifically, the route is: Work and Insurance – Compensation and Benefits – Social tourism providers for pensioners
e-EFKA (former OAEE).

Providers who submit an electronic objection must substantiate their claims by attaching to their electronically scanned objection supporting evidence. Objections not submitted electronically will not be considered.

The program will start from the day after the publication of the final results for the providers and will last for 12 months.

The budget of the program is 3,000,000 euros and concerns 25,000 checks. This is a new program particularly enhanced and attractive, both for the beneficiaries and for the providers, as it is characterized by a reduced to zero private participation for the beneficiaries in the cost of the overnight stay in the tourist accommodation and increased subsidy prices for the providers. With the new program, domestic tourism is further strengthened and another category of beneficiaries is added to DYPA’s social policy programs.

Beneficiaries and beneficiaries can spend up to 6 nights in a tourist accommodation they choose from the DYPA “Register of Providers”, after their direct consultation with the provider. Especially for accommodations in Leros, Lesvos, Chios, Kos and in the prefecture of Evros, up to 10 nights can be spent with zero private participation, while in the accommodations of the Municipalities of Istiaia-Edipsos and Mantoudi-Limni-Ag. Annas of N. Evia and Samos can take place up to 12 nights completely free of charge.

In the new program, increased subsidy prices apply, which apply to all categories of accommodation, in order to cover the increased costs and ensure a large participation. In addition, for the peak month of August, a 20% increase in the subsidy is foreseen, so that there is a greater participation of tourist businesses in this particular period. The increase will be valid for the whole year for the accommodations of North Evia and Samos.

In addition to accommodation in tourist accommodation, ferry tickets are also subsidized. The participation of the general category of beneficiaries amounts to 25%, of those with many children to 20%. For the disabled, the ferry tickets are available free of charge.
