Safe Travels Stamp awarded to the Falkland Islands
1st December 2021
The Falkland Islands have earned the global stamp of approval as a Safe Travels Destination for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the high level of health and hygiene protocols adopted in the Falklands. Supported by Acorn Tourism Consulting to develop the scheme, the Falkland Islands Tourist Board (FITB) aligned the wide range of COVID-19 policies, prevention plans, and protocols developed by the Falkland Islands government alongside the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) Safe Travels Protocols. Tourism businesses all over the islands are signing up to join the scheme, implementing exceptionally high standards of health and hygiene measures to keep visitors and staff safe.
Executive Director of FITB, Stephanie Middleton, said, “we’re delighted to have earned this stamp of approval from WTTC, and with the reopening of the islands for international tourism hope that as many businesses as possible will embrace it, demonstrating to our visitors that we take health and hygiene seriously.”
