DAVOS, Switzerland, May 23 -- The global travel and tourism industry has built upon lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic in order to recover, said Singapore's transport minister S. Iswaran while also highlighting China's great potential in relation to the sector.
He had participated in a panel discussion called"Rethinking and Revitalizing Travel and Tourism" at the ongoing annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. The discussion focused on policies and actions aimed at revitalizing the sector, which, according to the forum, saw over 60 million jobs and trillions of dollars lost in 2020."First, we have to recover... And we have to manage that recovery well," he said.
Thirdly, he said:"We must think about the long term. And a key part of that is sustainable growth... and how we manage our carbon emissions." He said the pandemic's impact on China is also felt globally, and he is confident that as recoveries happen across the world,"in due course, China will also fully recover."
