The Action Guide also mentioned that tourism cities should grasp the developmental trend of tourism in the post-epidemic era, while vigorously promoting the innovation of city tourism products, business, models and management by leveraging modern technology such as the Internet, big data, and smart technologies, for the better development of smart tourism and smart cities, and comprehensive improvement of the services, marketing and management level of tourism cities. The tourism industry and tourists should pay more attention to the safety of themselves and public safety. Travel codes of conduct that meet the requirements of pandemic prevention and control should be formulated, and more civilized and healthy ways of travel should be actively advocated. Tourism companies should strengthen self-discipline in market competition, energy conservation and environmental protection, emergency response, disease prevention and control, and food safety, and jointly create a tourism symbiosis ecosystem which covers the industry, the region and the world, promoting the green and sustainable development of world tourism.

During the release of the Action Guide, Chen Dong emphasized that “the tourism industry is a highly resilient and comprehensive industry. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted huge losses to world tourism, yet from a global perspective, the basic driver, market demand and service system of the world tourism still remain. The WTCF is confident in the rapid recovery of the global tourism industry after the pandemic. It is hoped that tourism cities and companies can have a good grasp of the development and changes of the global pandemic; focus on both the reviving of tourism and the pandemic prevention and control; actively promote the building of a community of shared health and future for mankind; jointly tide over the huge impact of COVID-19 on global tourism, and join hands to facilitate the recovery and a new round of revitalization of world tourism in a post-epidemic era!”
