The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has called upon the U.S. government to urgently speed up approval of the UK’s AstraZeneca vaccine to help restore vital transatlantic travel.

Bali’s much-touted plan to reopen to the world on September 11 is most likely to be shelved. Indonesia is reviewing a plan to reopen its tourist areas to foreign visitors, which could stall Bali’s planned to welcome back foreigners next month. Now it is also being reported that Indonesia will keep its doors closed to tourists until a coronavirus vaccine is found and immunity can be provided. “The reopening of tourist destinations to foreign tourists is something positive, but we need to do it at the right time,” Erick Thohir, chief of Indonesia’s national economic and COVID-19 recovery team, said during a virtual public discussion.
