Restoring Public Confidence on Safe Travels
ADB and AIM are focusing on drumming up solutions for the post-COVID-19 era.
Challenge Overview
In this challenge, we aim to develop innovative digital solutions that support the implementation of new travel policies emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic such as screening procedures and health checks, physical distancing protocols, new travel requirements, standardized facility sanitation, and passengers’ hygiene regimens to reduce the spread of infection and restore confidence in travel.
Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought travel and tourism industry to a complete standstill and has taken a toll on national economies and people’s livelihoods.
