WTTC and Carnival to hold Covid-19 scientific summit
The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and Carnival Corporation & plc will host a Covid-19 science summit this month.
The virtual summit will share the latest scientific knowledge and evidence-based best practices related to prevention, detection, treatment and mitigation of Covid-19.
It will bring global tourism leaders, WTTC members, government agencies, destination partners, trade and private businesses together to share the latest science and medical evidence that can be used to inform practical, adaptable and science-based solutions for mitigating and living with Covid-19.
Global participants will be invited to submit questions in advance and during the online event.
Gloria Guevara, WTTC president and CEO, said: "I was excited when Arnold [Donald, president and CEO of Carnival Corporation] approached me with this idea.
"This event will be a powerful platform for harnessing the best thinking from across all fields of knowledge in the public and private sectors.
"The science of this virus is rapidly evolving and these real-time insights will be invaluable in helping us determine evidence-based protection and mitigation measures to combat Covid-19. They will also help drive global alignment and collaboration on the frontiers of science and policy, which is critical to the survival of this important sector."
The WTTC/Carnival Corporation Global Science Summit on Covid-19 will take place from 14:00-17:30 GMT (10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. EDT) on Thursday, July 23.
