The value of the aid for the sites that provide shelter is in the amount of  7.6 euro per day. The aid will be used in categorized or registered accommodation placed entered in the National Tourist Register. 

On November 9, in order to finance the costs of the hoteliers for sheltering the Ukrainian refugees, the government allocated an additional 3.35 million euros.
