The free virtual event, which is open to the public, will take place from 3pm to 6.30pm GMT on Thursday 15 April. The WTTC and Carnival held a similar event in July last year.


It will bring together global scientists and health experts to discuss best practices for living with Covid-19, building on a much wider understanding of the virus’s effect on society.


The WTTC said the event would be particularly relevant to the travel sector, as it would provide an up-to-the-minute outlook on research that can, and will, inform "practical, adaptable and science-based solutions" to mitigate Covid-19.
