Gloria Guevara, president and CEO of the WTTC, said:

“WTTC welcomes the news of the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic, a crucial step in restoring confidence in global tourism and the broader economy.

“As one of the most important maritime corridors in the world, the Strait supports not only energy supply chains, but also aviation, cruise activities and global connectivity.

“The resumption of movement via this important route will help alleviate pressure on global travel and support the sector’s continued recovery and growth.

“Maintaining reliable, efficient international connectivity remains essential to enable travel and tourism to deliver jobs, investment and economic growth worldwide. WTTC research has shown that destinations and the wider tourism sector can recover quickly from airspace closures and periods of uncertainty.”
