The world is facing a new normal. The COVID-19 global pandemic and the intensifying climate crisis are creating disruptions, threats and challenges to people and planet on an unprecedented scale.

Travel & Tourism, which drives 10% of the global economy, was brought to a standstill by COVID-19 and like so much of our familiar world, it will be very different in the future. There is a massive and chaotic scale, scope and pace of change. The sector is struggling to build recovery strategies amidst great uncertainty. Travelers are confused by the overlapping stop-go dynamics of global and local responses, and increasingly they demand health-compliant, green, climate friendly options.

WISeTravel, a consortium led by WISeKey SA (CH) and Climate Friendly Travel Services (UK/BE) has developed a digital innovation to help consumers navigate the uncertainty and enjoy new travel experiences:

A free App for travelers – branded for stakeholders

• A Secure Wallet for all information a traveler needs on a trip
• A unique, heavily protected Digital Travel Identity
• A Health compartment for essential certificates
• A Safe Travel compartment with holders of WTTC’s safe travel stamp
• A Carbon Accounting compartment for personal GHG offsets
• A Green compartment showcasing responsible companies & communities
• A Climate compartment showing the SUN^x Malta Climate Neutral Registry

The “Swiss Army Knife for the New Normal Traveler”, keeping all essential travel items in one secure digital wallet.

“I’ll never leave home without it.”
