WTTC Welcomes the Launch of the EU Digital COVID Certificate

"WTTC is certain that the EU Digital COVID Certificate, which will be issued to consumers in Europe, will increase consumer confidence. This certificate will also boost the overall Travel & Tourism sector in Europe, which has been fighting for survival for more than a year."Virginia Messina is Senior Vice President WTTC. She stated: WTTC is certain that the EU Digital COVID Certificate, which will increase consumer confidence, and the wider Travel & Tourism industry across Europe, which has been fighting for survival for more than a year, will be a boost to consumers' confidence.This certificate is an excellent example of how to return safe international travel, help recover jobs and signal the revival a sector that will be crucial for the economic recovery on the continent.We commend the EU Commission, institutions, for taking this action quickly. However, EU Member states must adopt a coordinated and aligned approach to avoid confusion and fragmentation among holidaymakers who need easy-to-understand rules and regulations to make travel smooth during this difficult time.The catastrophic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on the global Travel & Tourism industry. It has seen millions of jobs disappear and its contribution to GDP plummet. The pandemic has also caused great stress and concern for the lives of millions of people who depend on this sector.We believe the new Digital COVID Certificate can play a significant role in reopening a crucial sector that is vital to the survival of jobs, livelihoods, and economies all over the globe.Daily News Delivery Subscribe to your colleagues to stay informed about the latest trends and news in the Hotel industry.
