The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has called on governments to come together to implement digital solutions to allow the “resumption of safe and stress-free international travel”.

Julia Simpson said the WTTC wants the hospitality industry to “lead by example”

In a new report, WTTC identifies four of the most widely used digital Covid vaccination certificates and urges governments to accept these international standards, while working towards a “single global solution”.

The four existing vaccination passes identified by the WTTC are the EU Digital Covid Certificate, ICAO Visible Digital Seal, Divoc and Smart Health Cards.

WTTC said governments should create their own digital travel portals, allowing travellers to electronically share their Covid vaccination or test certificates with their destination before beginning their journey.
