Abstract
The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has recently announced recommendations to categorize high risk travelers instead of labeling entire countries as high risk. The WTTC is calling for refined testing upon arrival and departure of international flights, increased mask mandates, and focused implementation of social distancing. The WTTC also emphasized the need for countries to use technology to track vaccinations and testing throughout their specific regions.
