Safe Travels is the first global travel safety initiative in view of the coronavirus pandemic. Its essence stands on the fact that travel companies, agencies, hotels and tourist infrastructure facilities can receive a special Safe Travels Stamp, the presence of which confirms that this organization fully adheres to sanitary standards and recommendations of relevant authorities. Safe Travels protocols are developed by WTTC for hotels, airports, convention centers, tourist sites (such as parks and cultural spaces), real estate and car rental services, tour operators and agencies. These protocols recommend to follow local and national laws as well as guidelines of international organizations, including the World Health Organization guidelines.

To receive a Stamp, Moscow tourism organizations need to apply on the official website of the Safe Travels initiative in Moscow. Ten days are allotted for checking each or organization. If the applicant meets all the requirements, it will be registered in the Safe Travels system and information about it will be placed in the Safe Travels Discover Moscow register.

To date, 94 organizations have already received Safe Travels Discover Moscow Stamps, with a total of 116 applications received.
