Caroline Leboucher, CEO of Atout France said: “The pandemic and the various hazardous weather events we experienced this summer are wake up calls for the travel and tourism industry. It’s high time to accelerate together, public and private partners, alongside NGOs and local communities to implement more coordinated and concrete actions towards a more resilient, responsible, inclusive and sustainable tourism. Atout France, the French NTO, is fully committed to taking part in that global challenge.”
Gloria Guevara, Chief Special advisor Saudi Ministry of Tourism said: “We need to work together to make travel & tourism part of the solution in the fight against climate change”. The global initiative aims to accelerate the transition to net zero of this very important sector, while driving action to protect nature and supporting communities. Millions of MSMEs need knowledge, tools and support to be climate neutral. Youth, academia, NGOs, destinations and all stakeholders should be part of the process … we were delighted to share the initiative in this very important forum in the capital of Europe.”
Marie-Caroline Laurent, Director General Europe, CLIA said: “The cruise industry is integral to sustainable tourism strategies. Our comprehensive approach tackles sustainability through reduced cruise ship emissions, environmental protection measures onboard and leading practices at destinations we visit.”
Eduardo Santander, CEO of the European Travel Commission (ETC) said: “Today in Brussels we are discussing how to shape Europe’s tourism future in the best way. As travel to European destinations finally restarts in full swing, the sector is already facing the old problems with capacity and management. The EU must lead the way fostering best practice sharing and new forward-looking policies, which put people – local citizens, travellers, workers – as the top priority. Still, I am confident that tourism in Europe will prevail and continue thriving.”
József Váradi, CEO, Wizz Air said: “Wizz Air has been carrying the flag of low-cost travel in new markets to democratize the travel industry. Mobility and accessible flights to everyone will remain fundamental across Europe and beyond. Moving forward, deregulation and maintaining a level playing field will be key to encourage competition of airlines, strengt2hening market efficiency and enabling affordable travel.”
Claudia Tapardel, CCO Ariva Digital said: ‘Ariva Digital is essential for bringing the travel & tourism industry at the next level, in the new era dominated by growth & innovation through our digital & blockchain solutions.”
Marian Muro, CEO Barcelona Turismo said: “Barcelona has been the first city to obtain Biosphere certification as a destination. The challenge now is to reconvert the entire industry and speed up the process of transforming the tourism model. A process that will take time, as a change of model requires time, efforts, sacrifices and investment. Our goal is for Barcelona to be an example of a sustainable urban destination.”
Peter Gerber, CEO of Brussels Airlines said: “Brussels Airlines, part of Lufthansa Group, is clearly committed to becoming CO2-neutral by 2050. However, a global level playing field for aviation must be ensured by European policy makers.”
Elena Kountoura, Member of European Parliament, said: “Women’s leadership in tourism is directly linked not only with the sector’s success, but also with the social and economic growth of whole destinations and local societies, worldwide.”
Willie Walsh, Director General IATA said: “A sustainable tourism industry is a must for Europe and the airline industry is determined to play its part. Airlines are committed to achieving net zero by 2050. Accelerating and scaling up the availability of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will be critical in the transition to net zero and represents a fantastic opportunity for Europe. With the right policy framework and incentives, SAF production will help to improve energy independence, create new highly skilled jobs and guarantee a sustainable future for aviation and tourism.”

UNICC and ShelterZoom Developed a Secure Document Tracking and E-Signature Solution for the UN System
The United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC) and ShelterZoom are pleased to announce a new innovative blockchain-based solution for controlling and protecting the digital data of UN entities and other international organizations. As the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the UN system, UNICC has partnered with ShelterZoom, a leading data and content protection and ownership SaaS company behind innovations such as Document Token® technology and Document GPS®.
Building upon the 50 years of experienced innovation from the UNICC, the two organizations collaborated on a transformational undertaking offering robust protection and promising increased productivity for document tracking and management. ShelterZoom will contribute its proprietary document tokenization technology, along with its data protection, document tracking and e-signature solutions to deliver a white-labeled platform, giving member organizations a greater level of governance over their content. Using ShelterZoom’s flagship proprietary Single Source Of Truth® technology, the solution provides a means for each file to be protected individually without changing user normal habits instead of having to rely solely on protecting files at the database level. This ‘singularity and control’ is a new era in cybersecurity and document management, which has never been seen before at this level of seamless integration with existing tools.
“The synergy between what we deliver and the goals of the United Nations are a perfect match for Single Source Of Truth,” said Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Cofounder of ShelterZoom. “We have said from the beginning that it is time to think about cybersecurity in a completely new way and in doing so we have created a solution to address other operational pain points while simultaneously solving one of the biggest challenges facing the global population today. The UN is at the frontlines of changing the world for the better and its forward-thinking approach to using technology to address fundamental issues is critical in improving livelihoods for all.”
ShelterZoom solutions have already been in use across dozens of industries and with this new commercial partnership, they can now extend their usefulness to the UN family and other international organizations. The revolutionary method for complete document tracking with built-in productivity tools, such as digital signatures and a market-first method for organizing files inside email, is an all-in-one solution built for a global workforce. The Single Source of Truth model has the added benefit of decreasing the carbon footprint created by excessive digital waste, further supporting the sustainability goals of the United Nations.
“The need for robust cybersecurity and data protection has never been greater,” said Sameer Chauhan, Director of UNICC. “By working together with ShelterZoom, we have developed a cutting-edge tool tailored to the needs of the UN family. Our unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class solutions ensures we continue to support the digital transformation and modernization of the UN system and other international organizations.”
