Safe Travels Stamp of Approval

The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has specifically designed a new Global Safety Stamp of Approval that will allow travelers to recognize governments and businesses around the world which have adopted globally standardized health and hygiene protocols – so consumers can experience ‘Safe Travels ’.

Eligible businesses such as hotels, restaurants, airlines, cruise lines, tour operators, restaurants, outdoor shopping, transportation, and airports will be able to use the stamp once the health and hygiene protocols, outlined by the WTTC, have been implemented. Destinations will also help to award the stamp of approval to local suppliers.
