In a statement, WTTC president and chief operating officer Gloria Guevara said comprehensive testing will allow free and safe movement for all.
“Only a tiny percentage of people around the world have so far received the vaccine, whereas there are vast numbers who have not, but who could be tested, show a negative result, and travel safely,” she added. She said individuals who belong to the most vulnerable groups should be prioritized, as a blanket vaccination requirement would simply discriminate against non-vulnerable groups, such as Generation X, Z and millennials, who should be able to travel with proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
In the Philippines, Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat had earlier backed the proposals for a COVID-19 passport.
