The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has developed a set of protocols to rebuild confidence among consumers once restrictions on movement are lifted.
They use guidelines from the World Health Organisation and the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and are designed to “avoid the emergence of multiple standards, which would only delay the sector’s recovery”.
Gloria Guevara, WTTC president and chief executive, said: “We have learned from the past, especially after the tragedy of 9/11, where the lack of coordination among governments and with the private sector caused long-lasting travel disruption, higher costs and a longer recovery time.”
