About
The Safe Travels stamp —awarded by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC)— involves a set of protocols that follow guidelines from the
World Health Organization (WHO) to have a general health policy for the tourism industry and to restore confidence in travelers, providing clear guidelines for the resumption of tourism activities on a global scale.
The stamp enables travelers to recognize destinations around the world which have adopted standardized global health and hygiene protocols, so they can experience 'Safe Travels.'
