Introduction
The EU tourism ecosystem has been one of the hardest-hit by the Covid-19 pandemic with impacts on
both travel supply and demand. Decline in international tourism in 2020 and 2021, represents hundreds
of billions of forfeited revenues by the European Union (EU) tourism ecosystem and millions of job losses.
The mounting evidence of the positive impact of vaccination campaigns together with the proposed use
of the Digital Green Certificate will gradually restore the freedom of movement and facilitate recovery of
the tourism sector in Europe. Therefore, it is imperative that support is provided to the EU tourism
industry to be prepared to resume services in a safe and coordinated manner.
NOTE Additional information on the Digital Green Certificate / EU Covid-19 Certificate can be found at
https://ec.europa.eu/info/live-work-travel-eu/coronavirus-response/safe-covid-19-vaccines-europeans/covid-
19-digital-green-certificates_en
The tourism sector is primarily built (99,9 %) on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and micro-
enterprises that have been significantly impacted by the Covid-19 crisis and require major support.
SOURCE: Commission Communication on Tourism and transport in 2020 and beyond, https://eur-
lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:52020DC0550&from=EN, and Communication
from the Commission: Updating the 2020 New Industrial Strategy Building a stronger Single Market for
Europe’s recovery, swd-annual-single-market-report-2021_en.pdf (europa.eu)
Some European countries have put in place national or regional health and safety protocols for tourism
establishments and services, which are of varying degree of granularity (see Annex B). In order to help
the tourism sector to recover faster, become a more resilient industry and to rebuild trust in intra-EU and
international travelling, it is now time to provide clear common and voluntary guidance at European
level. In addition, the European Commission has proposed the use of a visual identity to support these
aims.
In response to this request from the European Commission a two-document package is available:
— CWA 5643-1:2021 establishes requirements and recommendations for tourist organizations to
prevent the spread of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in order to protect their employees’ health from
Covid-19 and to provide safer tourist services and products to tourists and residents. It applies to the
whole tourism value chain, including 20 subsectors.
— CWA 5643-2:2021 will help promote Europe as a safe, Covid-proof tourism destination through a
common visual identity and build confidence among intra EU and international travellers, thereby
giving a competitive advantage to Europe on the global tourism market.
European tourism service providers are encouraged to implement this set of documents to ensure a
common understanding across tourism sectors in European countries.

should be accompanied by a QR Code leading to a summary of the main contents covered by

CEN is not responsible for the use of this visual identity and discharges liability on the Competent
Authorities of the European country.
This document cannot overrule national regulation. Countries wishing to implement the European
Tourism Covid-19 Safety Seal will need to designate the Competent Authority on the basis that such
7

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
SIST-TS CWA 5643-2:2021
CWA 5643-2:2021 (E)
Authority will have to implement and enforce the requirements established in CWA 5643-1:2021 and
CWA 5643-2:2021.
EXAMPLE Competent Authority can be the Ministry of Tourism and/or the Ministry of Health of the relevant
country, designated Regional tourism authorities, a combination of both, etc.
4.2 Conditions for use of the visual identity
The visual identity can only be displayed by those tourist organizations ensuring ongoing compliance
with the measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 established in CWA 5643-1:2021.
The conditions for use of this visual identity are responsibility of the Competent Authorities of each
European country.
Competent Authorities shall establish a control system suitable to monitor conformity with
CWA 5643-1:2021 for those tourist organizations who decide to use the visual identity.
NOTE 1 Competent Authorities can delegate the operation of a control system to monitor conformity to
CWA 5643-1:2021 to a suitable body.
Competent Authorities should implement a suitable process to register tourist organizations and provide
the European Tourism Covid-19 Safety Seal, considering particularly the needs of SMEs and micro
enterprises.
Where a Competent Authority wishes to use the European Tourism Covid-19 Safety Seal, it shall ensure
their best efforts in order to have a control that includes but is not limited to:
a) An application system, including an application form from the tourist organization (applicant) that
includes contact details and tourism subsector and an undertaking by the applicant to use the visual
identity in accordance with CWA 5643-1:2021 and CWA 5643-2:2021.
b) A method of assessment by the Competent Authorities of each European country or by any entity
designated by the Competent Authority, in order to supervise/confirm the conformity by the
applicant with the measures required in CWA 5643-1:2021.
This assessment can be a virtual visit or a physical visit, in support of which a self-completed checklist
(preferably online), and/or a sampling plan can be used.
The Competent Authority may give permission to use the visual identity in advance of the
assessment. However, the assessment shall be carried out within a defined period of time. This
assessment should be amended as required and repeated according to the evolution of the pandemic.
The method of assessment can be based on an existing label scheme.
NOTE 2 Where the Competent Authority has confirmed that the national protocol(s) include the measures
required by CWA 5643-1:2021, then the visual identity can be used in conjunction with recognized label
schemes at national level, where present.
c) A report confirming compliance with CWA 5643-1:2021, which can be based on a checklist (see
Annex A).
Where the Competent Authority of a European country has granted permission to use the visual identity,
the tourist organization may use the visual identity and display it responsibly, according to the
information given in the application.
The Competent Authorities should facilitate a system for the collection of feedback from clients/tourists
of their impressions both positive and negative of tourist organizations. Where there is negative
feedback, the Competent Authority shall assess the feedback and take action where appropriate.
