The Global Tourism Crisis Committee has united behind the World Tourism Organization’s rallying cry for governments to “go beyond words” and begin taking decisive action to safeguard the millions of jobs under threat as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The scale of disruption caused by COVID-19 to global tourism is shown in a comprehensive new report on travel restrictions from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).

Carnival Corp. has taken “decisive and concrete” financial actions that ensure operations through 2020 and beyond, despite the coronavirus pandemic, CEO Arnold Donald said.

In light of the ongoing health crisis, Royal Caribbean has announced that the cruise line is suspending global cruise operations through June 11, 2020.

Despite facing unprecedented hardship amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Carnival Corporation CEO Arnold Donald is expressing optimism about the future of his company and the cruise industry as a whole.
