Jamaica signs up for first ever global safety and hygiene stamp

Jamaica is among major destinations around the world that have signed up to the world's first-ever global safety and hygiene stamp, launched recently by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC). 

The WTTC, which represents the global travel and tourism private sector, designed the special Safe Travels stamp to enable travellers to identify destinations and businesses around the world which adopted its health and hygiene global standardised protocols.

WTTC President and CEO, Gloria Guevara, says the number of  global destinations adopting the private sector protocols is growing at a rapid pace.

Since the launch last week of  the Safe Travels stamp, Turkey, Bulgaria, Mauritius, Ontario, Portugal, Saudi Arabia and several Mexican destinations have adopted the WTTC's new protocols. 

Popular city destinations for holidaymakers which have also been given the WTTC Safe Travels stamp of  approval include Barcelona, Cancun, Madrid and Seville.
