世界旅游及旅行业理事会（WTTC）总裁格洛丽亚·格瓦拉的致辞

早上好！

感谢邀请世界旅游及旅行业理事会（WTTC）参加这次意义非凡的国际山地旅游联盟年会。很高兴能借此机会在伦敦向你们问好。请允许我以全球视角开始。

在此之前，我要特别感谢大会组织者，感谢联盟主席多米尼克·德维尔潘，我的朋友副主席邵琪伟先生以及秘书长何亚非先生。在目前的困难局面下把大家聚集在一起是非常重要的，我们可以共同克服挑战，同时也让我们共同恢复。请允许我向你们介绍全球数据。

在此之前，我想先介绍一下世界旅游及旅行业理事会（WTTC）。正如你们所知，世界旅游及旅行业理事会（WTTC）代表着全球的私营企业，来自世界各地的200多位首席执行官是我们的会员。他们代表了航空公司、机场、酒店、在线旅行社、旅游公司等行业，全世界各个行业。

目前，我们的主席是希尔顿全球酒店集团的首席执行官克里斯•纳塞塔，我们的中国区副主席是来自携程的孙洁。我们在所有地区设立副主席，其中包括北美地区嘉年华集团的阿诺德·唐纳德等。

现在，请让我为您介绍一些全球视野的数据。

30年来，世界旅游业理事会做了许多研究。我们在全球185个国家做了经济影响研究，并据此了解到我们旅游业对全球GDP的贡献率为10%。可以从这看到，10%是去年的贡献，而当全球经济平均增长2.5%时，旅行和旅游业的GDP增长为3.5%。在下图中，灰色线代表全球经济在过去9年的增长情况，绿线代表旅行和旅游业GDP的增长情况。可以看到，在9年中，我们的增长速度超过了经济的增长速度。2019年，全球3.3亿个工作岗位中，或者说每10个工作岗位中就有1个是我们所贡献的。

而世界各地所创造的工作岗位，所有产业和部门，在过去5年，每年所创造的新工作岗位中，每4个新工作岗位中就有1个是由旅行和旅游业所创造，这一数据是惊人的。

现在让我们继续往下看，由于目前的不确定性，给全球旅行和旅游业带来的影响，这是我们刚刚公布的数据。不幸的是，截至目前，有1.42亿人受到了影响。没错，全球有1.42亿人失去了工作。到今年年底，这个数字还会增加到1.74亿。我们之前的预测认为，到今年年底，这个数字将超过1.9亿，1.91亿人将失去工作。而好消息是这一数字降到了1.74亿。

其中一个原因是像中国等一些国家，国内的经济情况已经恢复正常。国内经济的复苏令人印象深刻。而世界各地其他国家也正在恢复，比如德国、法国、希腊等等。这帮助我们降低了失业率，从过去的经验中吸取教训是非常重要的。

让我为你们介绍世界旅游及旅行业理事会（WTTC）在过去20年间根据90个不同情况所分析的三个重点案例。请大家看左上角图片。在左上角图片中，你可以看到过去20年全球情况。白线代表经济，全球经济，绿线代表旅行和旅游行业GDP，蓝色柱状代表工作。你可以看到，有两个情况下全球经济受到了影响。一次是911事件。在图的左上部分。另一次则是金融危机。在这些情况下，旅行和旅游行业也遭受了严重影响。但是，之后的反应不同，恢复情况也有所不同。请看左边，恢复情况是一个U型。我们花了好几年的时间来恢复，非常痛苦。再看2008年的金融危机，我们在18个月内快速地恢复，因为我们共同协作的举措。公共和私营部门合作是关键所在，让我们在18个月内快速恢复。现在，请看右上角。这是G20期间。无论发生什么，G20给全球带来直接的影响。最后让我们重点关注右下角的这次经验，这是中国。这是20年来的中国经济，令人不可思议。白线代表经济，绿线代表旅行和旅游。看2003年发生了什么。非典爆发，这里的恢复曲线是V型的。这令人印象深刻，因为我们没有疫苗。但尽管没有疫苗，他们恢复地非常之快，因为他们将感染人群隔离起来并及时采取了正确的措施。这告诉我们，如果我们方法得当，我们也可以从这次疫情中恢复。

如果公共和私营部门共同协作并采取正确的措施和标准。这就是为什么在G20平台上，关键是要保持一致。而在10月7日，我们创造了历史，我们有史以来第一次让私营部门参与了由沙特阿拉伯发起和主办的部长级会议。沙特作为G20的主席国，让世界旅游及旅行业理事会（WTTC）和私营部门制定计划，让1亿人重返工作岗位。这个计划包括私营部门的12项承诺，也包括我们需要政府配合的一些需求。非常重要的是，要从单纯的试图控制病毒的蔓延，到控制病毒的蔓延，同时也要试图以安全的方式与病毒共存。恢复国际旅行是至关重要的，为此，我们必须共同努力。采取协作措施重新开放边界非常重要。我们需要实施一个国际检测协议。这样在下次旅行时，我可以在出发时进行检测，如果检测结果为阴性，我就可以登机。然后当我到达目的地的时候，我不需要再次检测，因为我没有感染新冠肺炎。所以出发时的检测是非常重要的，可以避免病毒的输出。

再次感谢你们的邀请，期待与国际山地旅游联盟共同合作，我们要继续举办像今天这样的活动，这非常重要，我们可以更快恢复，并让受到影响的数百万人重新获得工作。

非常感谢。

Good morning!

Thank you for inviting WTTC to this very important International Mountain Tourism Annual Conference. I’m delighted to be here, greetings from London. But before that, I’ll start by bringing a global perspective.

I want to thank especially the organizers and I would like to thank Dominique de Villepin, Chairman of IMTA, my friend, Mr. Shao Qiwei, Vice Chairman, and also Mr. He Yafei, Secretary-General which is very important to bring everyone together during these difficult situations so that we can overcome the challenge together and at the same time, to recover. Let me walk you to the global view and our global data.

But before I do that, I would like to share who we are. WTTC as you know represents the global private sector. A little bit over 200 CEOS from around the world are our members. We represent all industries from airlines, airports, hotels, OTAs, travel companies, all industries around the world. Currently, our chairman is Chris Nassetta, CEO of Hilton Worldwide, our Vice Chair for China,  Jane Sun from Trip.com. And we have vice chairs in all the regions including of course North America with Carnival Corporation with Arnold Donald and many others.

Now, let me tell you a little bit about the numbers and the global view.

For 30 years, WTTC has done a lot of research. We have done economic impact research in 185 countries around the world and that’s how we know that we contribute to 10% of the global GDP. As you will see here, 10%, that was the contribution from last year. And while the economy grew 2.5 average globally, the growth of travel & tourism GDP was 3.5％.In the chart below, the gray line shows the economy, the growth in the world in the last 9 years and the green lines shows travel & tourism GDP. For 9 years, we have outpaced the growth of the economy as you will see there.330 million jobs around the world or 1 in 10 were our contribution in 2019.

And all the jobs created from around the world, in all, the industries and all the sectors, new jobs in the last 5 years in every single year, 1 in 4 new jobs were contributed by travel & tourism which is amazing.

Now moving on the impact of travel & tourism globally as we are living an unprecedented time, let me share with you the data, the data we just released. Unfortunately, as of now, a 142 million people have been impacted. Yes, 142 million jobs have been lost globally and by the end of the year, this number is going to be 174. Our previous forecast say that by the end of the year, we are going to reach a number higher than 190 which was 191 million jobs. And the good news is that this number had decreased to 174. 

One of the reasons is because couple of countries have recovered domestic such as China. That is impressive how domestic has been recovering. Other countries around the world also have been recovering domestic in Germany, France, Greece, and many others and that has helped us to reduce the loss of jobs.

It is very important to learn from the past and let me highlight three lessons that we at WTTC have analyzed with 90 different situations in the last 20 years.Let me get your attention in the top left graph, please.In the top left graph, you have the world, the last 20 years. The white line is the economy, the global economy. The green line is GDP for travel & tourism. The blue bars are job. As you will see there, there were two situations where the global economy was impacted. One was 9/11.That’s the top left. And  the other one was the financial crisis. In those situations, there was a significant impact to travel & tourism.However, the reaction was different and the recovery was different. As you will see on the left, the recovery was a u-shape form. It took us years to recover and it was very painful. Then in the financial crisis in 2008, it was a pretty fast recovery in 18 months because we had a coordinated approach. Public and private collaboration was key and that allowed us to recovery in 18 months.Now, let me get your attention to the top right. That’s the G20. Whatever happens, the G20 has a direct impact in the world. Let me highlight the last lesson learned which is the bottom right. That’s China. It’s the last 20 years of the economy in China, unbelievable. The white line as I say is the economy. The green line is travel & tourism. Look what happened in 2003. That’s the outbreak of SARS. I look at how that was V-shaped recovery. That was very impressive because we didn’t have a vaccine. And despite that we didn’t have a vaccine, they were able to recover pretty fast because they were able to isolate the people infected and have the right protocols in place. And that tells us that we can recover from this outbreak if we do the right thing.

If we were together, public and private and also if we implement the right protocols and standards. That’s why in the G20 platform, it is crucial to get aligned. And on October 7, we made history when we had for the first time ever the private sector involved in the ministerial meeting that happened and hosted by Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia also, as the chair of the G20 asked us, asked WTTC and the private sector to put together a plan to bring back 100 million jobs. This plan includes 12 commitments from the private sector and it also includes some needs that we need from governments. Very important to move from just trying to contain the spread to contain the spread and also to try to coexist with the virus in a safe way. It is crucial, very important to resume international travel and for that, we have to work together. A coordinated approach to reopen borders is very important. We need to implement an international testing protocol. So that the next time that I traveled, I can have a test on departure and if that test is negative, I can board a plane. And then when I arrive in my destination, I don’t need quarantine because I am COVID free. That’s why testing is very important in departure to avoid exporting the virus. 

Thank again for having me. Look forward to working with you and in our partnership. It is very important to continue having events like the one that you’re have today so that we can recover faster and we can bring back that millions of livelihoods that have been impacted. 

Thank you.
