#SafeTravels

Chairman, Kazakh Tourism National Company “While the world is shifting to a new normal and the industry is seeing a tremendous transformation we at Kazakh Tourism strongly believe in a single voice of the businesses and governments in these trying times. Customers across the globe expect safety and comprehensive protocols at various tourism outlets and therefore a single approach that derives from the tourism businesses who form the core of WTTC is much needed now than ever before. Kazakh Tourism welcomes the #SafeTravels initiative by WTTC. The industry protocols developed based on WHO and CDC recommendations are timely and will help gain trust of the travelers. We understand it will take years to see the industry recover but by working together and implementing the #SafeTravels stamp we are one step closer to the goal.”

WTTC President & CEO “We are absolutely delighted with the success of our Safe Travels stamp. More than 145 destinations now proudly use the stamp, all of which are working together to help rebuild consumer confidence worldwide. Global coordination is more important than ever in the road to recovery. As the stamp continues growing in popularity, travelers will more easily be able to recognize destinations around the world which have adopted these important standardized global protocols, encouraging the return of ‘Safe Travels’ around the world. The success of the stamp shows its importance both to countries and destinations, but also to travelers and the 330 million people around the world who work in and depend on, a thriving the Travel & Tourism sector.”
