The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) fully supports the UK Government in its approach to the ongoing terrorism threat and its response to terrorist acts. The threat of terrorism is a worldwide issue and requires co-operation of the relevant authorities on a national and international level.
The situation in London after the second wave of explosions on July 21 is still developing and the precise impact of this event on the Travel & Tourism industry will not be apparent for some time. Nevertheless, industry leaders remain confident.
Jean Claude Baumgarten, WTTC President said, Although we may see a short-term impact on the Travel & Tourism industry, previous experience has shown that both consumers and the industry itself are becoming more and more resilient.
Mr Baumgarten reiterated and reinforced his earlier messages sent out after the July 7 attacks, saying, The worst thing to do at times such as this is to stay at home. People must continue to travel, to visit friends and family, both in London and other cities throughout the world, and assist the security and emergency services by remaining vigilant and reporting anything suspicious.
