Our Focus and Initiatives

Our mission is to ensure the long-term sustainable and inclusive growth of Travel & Tourism. This requires strong public-private collaboration and an enabling environment to address current and emerging challenges and opportunities for the sector.

In this context, WTTC focuses on three key initiatives:

• Security and Travel Facilitation
• Sustainable Growth
• Crisis Preparedness, Management & Recovery

Alongside our three key initiatives, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been working to reopen the Travel & Tourism sector together with our Members, Governments, and other associations. This work includes the creation of the SafeTravels Protocols and Stamp initiatives; the Future of Travel & Tourism report and work focusing on the Social Impact of the sector.

Security & Travel

Encouraging public-private collaboration, innovation, and the deployment of technology to ensure that travel is safe, secure, and seamless.

Sustainability

Ensuring that Travel & Tourism growth benefits everyone, protects cultural and natural heritage and contributes positively to Climate & Environment Action.
