WTTC congratulates EU on adoption of new European Travel Information & Authorization System

WTTC congratulates the EU on the adoption of the new European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), a pre-authorization system which allows the EU to know who is entering the EU, from where and if they pose a risk to EU security.

A amata loa ona faʻagaioia le ETIAS, o tagata uma o le atunuʻu lona tolu e tuusaunoaina visa o loʻo fuafua e malaga i le nofoaga o Schengen e tatau ona apalai mo le faʻatagaga muamua. O le autu o lenei mea o le faʻafaigofie ona malaga i le EU ma faʻafaigofie siaki tuaoi.

During negotiations, WTTC stressed the importance of the process to be made as easy as possible for legitimate travelers.

In addition to the ease of process, WTTC also advocated for the fees to remain at a reasonable level, one that did not discourage travelers from coming to Europe. The final fee of seven euros meets this balance.

“We see this as an important first step in the digitalization of travel. The ultimate aim will be the use of biometric technology to ensure seamless, more efficient and more secure travel. WTTC is committed to enhancing security and improving the entire passenger journey. This will essentially maximize the potential of the Travel & Tourism to create jobs and drive economic growth,’ stated Gloria Guevara, President & CEO World Travel & Tourism Council.

ETI o le a saoloto mo lalo o 18s ma sili atu 70s.

Apalai mo ETIAS faʻamoemoe ia vave ma faigofie, manaʻomia le sili atu nai lo se pepa malaga, credit card ma ulufale i le initaneti. O le toʻatele o tagata talosaga o le a mauaina se tali lelei i totonu o minute. Afai e manaʻomia faʻamatalaga faaopoopo, pepa faʻamaumauga poʻo se faʻatalanoaga, e eseese avanoa e ofa atu ai ma le amanaʻia o le tulaga o le tagata malaga.

WTTC welcomes the fact that the needs of the travel and tourism community were taken into account whilst ensuring enhanced EU security.
