The safety and wellbeing of travellers and those working across the Travel & Tourism sector must always remain the highest priority. “At times such as these, close cooperation between governments and the private sector is essential. WTTC’s Members and partners are working together to prioritise safety, share information and support travellers and communities affected by disruption. “Travel & Tourism plays a vital role in connecting people, sustaining livelihoods and fostering mutual understanding. WTTC stands alongside the global sector in supporting safe and responsible travel, while encouraging stability that enables the industry to continue contributing positively to economies and communities worldwide.”
