QUEZON CITY, Sept 27 (PIA) -- The Department of Tourism (DOT) received a SafeTravel Stamp from the World Travel and Tourism Council for ensuring the safety of travelers in the Philippines amid COVID-19 for its continuing support for, and adoption of "health and hygiene global standardized protocols" during the COVID-19 pandemic.
SafeTravel is the stamp of approval given by the international organization to certify compliance with its global health standards to allow for safe travels.
Eligible companies such as hotels, airlines, restaurants, tour operators, attractions, transportation and airports will use the stamp as a guarantee that they conform to health and safety protocols required by the WTTC.
As a user of the stamp, the DOT will have the opportunity to assume the role of a SafeTravel ambassador to the stakeholders, advocating the implementation and full compliance of protocols.
The WTTC is an international organization representing leaders of the global travel and tourism industry, which accounts for 10 percent of the global gross domestic product and employment. (TNN/PIA-IDPD).
