UNWTO, WTTC and WTM Ministers’ Summit – Sustainable Practices

Any government financial support to help the travel industry recover from the pandemic should be linked to sustainable practices, it was argued during this year’s UNWTO, WTTC and WTM Ministers’ Summit.

The comments came during a panel discussion on the Fundamentals for Long-term Growth, Innovation and Sustainability on Monday of WTM Virtual.

The panel also discussed health-based technical applications at airports and in hospitality that had been accelerated as a result of the pandemic. QR codes are in greater use and a planned increase in facial recognition at passport controls will further reduce touch points. Ultra violet light is being used to self-clean escalator handrails, elevator buttons, room key cards and utensils.

This WTM Virtual session originally took place in November, 2020.
