The World Travel and Tourism Council , which represents the global travel and tourism private sector, made history earlier this year when it launched the world’s first ever global safety and hygiene stamp, which also recently reached its first major milestone.
“The specially designed stamp enables travelers to recognize destinations around the world which have adopted health and hygiene global standardized protocols – so they can experience “Safe Travels”,” WTTC said in a statement. “We are delighted to see our innovative initiative is proving such a great success and is being used by destinations from all corners of the globe,” Gloria Guevara, WTTC president and CEO, said.
“As the stamp continues to gain in popularity, travelers will more easily be able to recognize the destinations worldwide which have adopted the new set of global protocols, encouraging the return of “Safe Travels” around the world,” she said. “The Safe Travels stamp will further encourage our stakeholders to adhere to health and safety standards, and will also help us rebuild traveller confidence, so we can restart tourism and preserve and sustain jobs,” the tourism chief added.
