Safe Travels Protocols and Stamp For Travel and Tourism Industries

The World Travel & Tourism Council compiled guidelines of health and safety protocols to assist eleven Travel & Tourism industries with recovery by encouraging alignment within each industry and building consumer confidence. These industries include Hospitality, Attractions, Outdoor Retail, Aviation, Airports, Short Term Rentals, Cruise, Tour Operators, Convention Centres and MICE, Car Rental and Insurance.

The Safe Travels protocols consist of four pillars:

1. Operational and Staff Preparedness
2. Ensuring a Safe Experience
3. Rebuilding Trust and Confidence
4. Implementing Enabling Policies

The protocols take into account current World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, and so is a fluid document that will be updated accordingly as new information becomes available.

Safe Travels Stamp

The Safe Travels Stamp is the first global safety and hygiene stamp for travel and tourism authorities and companies to promote COVID-19 safety and compliance standards. Governments and companies can apply for a Safe Travels Stamp once they have implemented the health and safety standardised protocols outlined by the WTTC. For all countries, destination authorities and companies operating in Travel & Tourism, the stamp is free to use, dependent on a self-assessment and is not a certification. Companies using the stamp are confirming that they are implementing and ensuring ongoing compliance with the WTTC Safe Travels Protocols.

The Safe Travels Stamp is available to:

• Companies involved in Travel & Tourism (non-WTTC members)
• International or national-level Travel & Tourism industry associations
• WTTC Members
• Public destination authorities (national, regional and municipal governments)
