CTC 22 July 2021 – Successfully adapting to the changing environment will be essential in supporting the momentum of the recovery phase for travel and hospitality industry businesses and the travellers that use them. Now is the all-important time to take action.
Collinson president Asia Pacific, Todd Handcock, said at the Jul-2021 edition of CAPA Live that “companies really need to start acting now to evolve existing meeting and travel protocols”. Mr Handcock said updating protocols will help ensure travellers feel “protected and comfortable” and will help meet upcoming ISO Travel Risk Standard duty of care requirements.
“Testing is going to remain vital for safe resumption of travel for potentially up to the next two to three years” and will remain necessary until vaccination rates reach 70% to 75% in key markets. “Standardised digital health passports will prove to be key” in restoring international travel, he believes. “Governments just won’t reopen borders without trusted, verifiable proof of vaccination,” he added.
