In response to the COVID-19 impact on people, businesses and destinations, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO), launched the Healing Solutions for Tourism Challenge.

This initiative has identified the most disruptive startups, entrepreneurs, innovators and existing technologies with ready-to-implement solutions to make travelling possible once again. Throughout the 4-week call, 1183 projects from 110 countries were received and evaluated by an Expert Committee.

Selected solutions will be presented in a Digital Presentation to Member States and key stakeholders from the global tourism innovation ecosystem.

We encourage you to join us.
