He further said that “It has also created a good example of cooperation between government and business. Such cooperation is more essential than ever, and UNWTO is pleased to see Dubai and many other destinations around the world promoting collaboration and solidarity to support our sector and restart tourism.”
The chief also said that safe international travel is possible but they still need to rebuild confidence in travel to restart tourism.
“The tourism sector is ready to restart as soon as conditions allow, but these will depend on both health management and international coordination and standards - again, flying solo leads nowhere,” said the chief.
The UNWTO also congratulated Dubai on successfully hosting EXPO 2020, which sends a positive and strong message of determination. The secretary-general of UNWTO, praising the city for its wonderful achievement, said that it is important to restart tourism in the world and that they will do their part to rebuild with more economic and social resilience.
