The Association of Canadian Independent Travel Advisors has launched a new e-Petition, which is now open for signatures.
After conducting a survey of its members, ACITA learned that more than 65% of Travel Advisors believe that PCR testing in destination is the single greatest deterrent for consumers to book new travel. Clients are most worried about testing positive in destination and having to quarantine in a foreign country.
There is an expanding list of countries which have eliminated the requirement of a negative pre-departure COVID-19 test results for vaccinated travelers, including but not limited to the U.K., Ireland, Sweden, Spain, Germany and Denmark.
The e-Petition, sponsored by MP Melissa Lantsman, Shadow Minister for Transport, asks the Government to remove the requirement for travellers to obtain a negative PCR test for re-entry into Canada.
It will be open for signatures until March 10th, and colleagues in the Travel Industry are encouraged to sign it and ask their clients to sign it as well.
Petition #e-3835 can be accessed here.
