Vaccines will help in the long-term, but they must not be a requirement for travel.
The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) and major international industry bodies have joined forces to call for the immediate restoration of international travel using proven processes and without waiting for or requiring vaccinations. While welcoming the roll out of a vaccine, the World Travel & Tourism Council said travel must resume now to stave off further job losses. WTTC President and Chief executive Gloria Guevara said: "The vaccines currently being rolled out are truly game-changers, and hopefully just the first of many which could transform the world, mark the beginning of our return to a more normal way of life and see the return of safe and confident international travel."
