Travel and tourism was one of the first industries to be impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic As various countries battle COVID-19 outbreaks, vaccination programmers also on rising. Governments and Airlines thinking that health ‘passports’ could be the way forward to boost trade and tourism A Health passport often known as a Travel ‘Pass,’ is a document that contains information about a traveler’s Health. This could include historical rapid-PCR test results, COVID-19 recovery information, vaccination information, and current vaccination status. A ‘vaccine passport,’ on the other hand, is only available to persons who have been completely vaccinated and it stores only vaccination data. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has announced the launch of a travel pass that may be used on participating airlines. The IATA Travel Pass is a smartphone app that allows users to save and manage their confirmed COVID-19 certifications. In the next weeks, Gulf airlines will begin using IATA’s Travel Pass. The app has four elements . 1) Health requirements based on travel destination 2) Testing center registry at arrival or departure locations 3) Ability to allow authorized labs to send test results via the app 4) Complete digital passport that allows storage and sharing of relevant data. If you go on an airline that uses the IATA Travel Pass, which is now on trial, you can use it anywhere in the world.
