PEOPLE SHOULD TRAVEL - W.H.O.
A message from Pacific Asia
Travel Association President and CEO, Mr. Peter de Jong sent
to all PATA members:
“I want to share my personal impressions of a presentation
by Dr. David Heymann, Executive Director of the World Health
Organization (WHO), which I attended on April 28 in
|
Bangkok.
Dr. Heymann was in Bangkok to address the heads of state of
ASEAN ( Association of Southeast Asian Nations ) plus China
(PRC) and Hong Kong SAR on the SARS situation facing the
region". “Dr. Heymann said, in effect, there was nothing
about the SARS virus that should prevent people from
travelling". "He told the press: "We realise that the travel
industry is hurting and we want to help get the risk
perception right. Now that effective monitoring
& exit screening
is in place, |
there is no good reason why
people shouldn't be travelling in the same numbers as
previously." "Importantly, Dr. Heymann confirmed that the
travel experience was NOT a contributor to the spread of
SARS. He emphasised that the public perception of this
virus, which has caused a serious downturn in travel and
tourism, was based upon an inaccurate interpretation of
information that had been provided by the WHO to governments
and the public". |
