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.
ETIAS 實施後，所有計劃前往申根地區的免簽證第三國國民都必須申請旅行前授權。 這樣做的目的是簡化前往歐盟的旅行並簡化邊境檢查。
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 對 18 歲以下和 70 歲以上的人免費。
申請 ETIAS 旨在快速而簡單，只需要旅行證件、信用卡和互聯網接入。 絕大多數申請人會在幾分鐘內收到肯定的答复。 如果需要額外的信息、文件或面談，我們會根據旅客的情況提供不同的可能性。
WTTC welcomes the fact that the needs of the travel and tourism community were taken into account whilst ensuring enhanced EU security.
新系統於今天（5 月 2021 日星期四）在斯特拉斯堡舉行的歐洲議會全體會議上通過，預計將於 XNUMX 年投入使用。
