This week Backcountry Journeys will run its first photography tour since COVID-19 sent the globe to a screeching halt back in March. As we do so we are proud to announce that BCJ has received the official ‘Safe Travels’ stamp, and certification, from the World Travel & Tourism Council.
What exactly does this mean? To receive this designation, Backcountry Journeys developed and submitted a COVID-19 protocol and procedural plan to the World Travel & Tourism Council, which is a global authority on the economic and social contribution of travel and tourism. Those plans were reviewed and approved, which granted us the ‘Safe Travels’ stamp from the organization.
COVID-19 has drastically altered life for everyone, the travel industry was hit hard. Choosing when travel, and joining our tours is certainly a personal choice, however, as we begin to offer tours once again, we do so with our focus on creating the safest environment possible so as to enable our guests to safely enjoy themselves. The ‘Safe Travels’ stamp emphasizes the efficacy of our new safety approach.
