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.

Wakati ETIAS inapoanza kutumika, raia wote wa nchi ya tatu ambao hawana msamaha wa visa ambao wanapanga kusafiri kwenda eneo la Schengen watalazimika kuomba idhini ya kabla ya kusafiri. Lengo la hii ni kupunguza kusafiri kwenda EU na kurahisisha ukaguzi wa mipaka.

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.

ETIAS itakuwa bure kwa chini ya miaka 18 na zaidi ya miaka 70.

Kuomba ETIAS inalenga kuwa haraka na rahisi, bila kuhitaji zaidi ya hati ya kusafiri, kadi ya mkopo na ufikiaji wa mtandao. Idadi kubwa ya waombaji watapokea jibu chanya ndani ya dakika. Ikiwa habari ya ziada, nyaraka au mahojiano itahitajika, uwezekano tofauti utapewa kwa kuzingatia hali ya msafiri.

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

Mfumo huo mpya ulipitishwa leo (Alhamisi, Julai 5) katika Baraza la Bunge la Ulaya huko Strasbourg na inatarajiwa kuanza kutumika mnamo 2021.
