Holiday operators say 'safe travel is possible this summer' Reporter: '); '); The European Travel Agents' and Tour Operators' Associations, representing some 70,000 travel agents and tour operators in Europe, is calling European and national decision-makers throughout the EU to plan for a safe return of travel this summer. Such a plan should build around a common approach of risk-based travel restrictions, based on testing and health certificates, the ECTAA has said. "While the situation is not much different from a year ago, where nearly all travel and tourism has been suspended, today we hold the cards to turn the situation around," the associations said. They claim "all the prerequisites are there to be able to travel safely this summer" and that the industry "stands ready to set and implement a plan for return to travel."
