Bird flu today is not a problem for travelers. There is no case of a traveler contracting the virus. The day a pandemic will start, the picture will change totally.

We must ensure that people are not deterred from travelling without good reason.

What we want is to obtain information in real time, to be capable of circulating this information in real time to national tourism authorities and to the private sector so they take the best decisions.

The tourist industry has become a lot more robust in recent years.

Although world tourism has been affected by a situation of insecurity and uncertainty, the sector has not collapsed.

There is no reason to give in to panic.

Travel without fear wherever you want to go — to China, Thailand, Indonesia, Turkey.
