Abu Dhabi eyes tourism
Dubai Airports’ CEO Paul Griffiths has confirmed he supports the global push for ‘vaccine passports’ as a critical tool to resume international travel.
“I don t think there is an alternative,” he told the BBC. “I think the problem is not the vaccine passport and its discrimination. It s the need to roll things out and have a proper globally equitable vaccine programme.
“I just don t think the world can survive without [mass] mobility for much longer, certainly socially and economically, but you can understand why countries around the world are being very conservative. The last thing any politician wants is a surge of infection on their turf.“
