A dozen travel and tourism bodies have backed a six-point plan to avoid any backward steps for travel, with a focus on booster jabs and the EU Digital Covid Certificate.
Now that more than three-quarters of adults in the EU are now fully vaccinated against Covid-19, and with community transmission now prevalent in most member states, the coalition believes more stringent Covid border measures will not only have little public health benefit but would also risk harming local economies.
The plea has been backed by Airlines for Europe, Airports Council International, Clia Europe, Etoa, the European Travel Commission and the World Travel and Tourism Council.
