WTTC, which has continually led the private sector to rebuild global consumer confidence and encourage the return of Safe Travels, made history when it launched the world’s first ever global safety and hygiene stamp, just 12 months ago.

The stamp was developed to help restore confidence in travellers and aims to revive the global travel and tourism sector which has been devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now it is being used by destinations around the world, with the hotspots of Cyprus,Thailand, Barbados, Abu Dhabi, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan, among the latest to join WTTC’s ever-growing list.

The WTTC Safe Travels stamp, and its global protocols have been embraced by more than 200 travel and tourism CEOs, and many of the world’s major tourism groups.

Gloria Guevara, CEO, WTTC, said, “We are delighted that our Safe Travels stamp continues to grow from strength to strength and has been adopted by destinations from all corners of the world. From Portugal to Puerto Rico, Sri Lanka to Slovenia, Tunisia to Tobago, our stamp is now recognised around the globe, which is testimony to the hard work which has been put in to make the stamp work for both destinations and holidaymakers.”
