The
Internation of Coalition of Tourism Partners today expressed it's
strong support for the Ministerial initiative of Peru, Ecuador and
Colombia to create a common smart visa regime.
Speaking
during the World Economic Forum Latin America's Tourism Summit, ICTP
President Prof Geoffrey Lipman said " This is a much needed
practical action to implement the industry call for smarter ways to
move travellers across international borders without compromising
security.
I
have watched Minister Silva of Peru conceive and implement this
initiative over the past 6 months and can only express admiration for
his commitment to action rather than talk. ICTP will support this
program as it expands across the region and opefully elsewhere on the
continent".
