Strong opinions and visions: Travel industry leaders call for political action
Travel industry CEOs clearly demand an expansion of vaccination and testing capacity to re-open safe travel in these times of the pandemic, and call for political support to improve sustainability, equitable opportunities and digital services. Their statements provide guidance and motivation for what needs to be undertaken to get the travel and tourism industry back on its feet.

|
|
“ … safety is number one. So from my standpoint, focus on vaccinations and expanding the vaccinations
as quickly as possible.”
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
“ … policy making is incentivizing action and sustainability … the second is regulation… regulation … regulation has made so much impact.”
