Tourism Ministry presented the new programme “Tourism for All” 2026-2027’, which is an upgraded version of the previous cycle, aimed at expanding beneficiaries, supporting the Greek family and strengthening vulnerable social groups.
The new action places special emphasis on people with disabilities, many children's families and households in the middle class, while it also acts as a tool for extending the tourist season and developing mountain tourism.

Two phases of implementation and continuous flow of beneficiariesThe programme will be implemented in two distinct phases:
- Phase I will start immediately and will last until 30 June 2027
- Phase II will begin in early 2027 and will end on December 31, 2027
Emphasis on low demand months and mountain tourismThe strategic pillar of the programme is to strengthen tourism activity outside the high season.
In particular, 70% of the available budget goes to the months of October to April, with the aim of extending the tourist season and decongesting the summer months.
At the same time, the programme is linked to the initiative for "mountain Greece", strengthening less projected destinations and promoting a more balanced tourism development across the country.
Enlargement of income criteria for more beneficiariesMajor changes are also recorded in income limits, with the aim of broadening middle class participation:
Singles without children: from 19,000 € → 21,000 €
- Married without children: from 31,000 € → 33,000 €
- Families with children: significant increase, up to 58,000 €
This change is expected to significantly increase the number of beneficiaries by broadening the programme's social footprint.
Support for disabled persons and support for familiesFor the first time, the programme includes:
persons with disabilities (≥ 67%) regardless of income
- Families with children of disabled persons, also without income criteria
At the same time, additional aid is introduced for large families, with an additional EUR 50 for each child from the fourth and above, substantially strengthening large households.
Digital card and simplified processThe program will continue to operate through intangible digital card, with full utilization of the infrastructure of gov.gr and vouchers.gov.gr platforms.
Applications may be submitted:
- Electronic
- Through JEP
- Through organized help desk support
The selection process remains based on an electronic draw, ensuring transparency and equal opportunities for participation.
Subsidies up to EUR 600The aid amounts range from EUR 200 to 600, depending on the travel period and the category of beneficiaries.
Applications are expected to start in August.
