An additional €120 million will be released to help the gastronomy and tourism sector. This means that €220 million will thus be allocated for the sector in total. Businessmen within the sector will be compensated with up to 10 percent of the shortfall in their sales. In line with the revised rules, entities that were set up during 2020 and thus cannot compare their sales to 2019 can apply for this aid as well. The basic condition for applying for state aid is a drop of at least 40 percent in sales compared to 2019. The limit for drawing this aid has been set at €200,000 per applicant, as this is a so-called 'de minimis' aid scheme.
