This report is for government authorities and should be read alongside the WTTC Report on Digital Solutions for Reviving International Travel 1 and is an extension of that report. It provides additional advice and best practice guidance on implementing a Digital Travel Portal

The Digital Solutions for Reviving International Travel report provided guidance for countries that would enable them to meet the commitments made by governments in 2021 at the WHO, ICAO, OECD, G7 and G20 for the safe and efficient COVID-19 health checks of travellers in a way that was globally interoperable and internationally scalable.

The report included eight recommendations that could be implemented by governments to enable them to grow their economies again by safely reconnecting their country with the world and provided the digital foundations for technologies that could be integrated with other Government services and healthcare systems to address both the COVID-19 pandemic and other future health risks at the border.
