MIAMI, June 26, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Gloria Guevara, CEO and president of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), announced that 35 destinations have already adopted the same protocols to reduce risks and to be able to travel safely starting in July.
“We want travelers to know that we are doing everything to reduce risks so that they can travel safely. The idea is for the experience to be the same in all sectors,” Guevara said in a virtual program with communicator and strategist, Ismael Cala.
Among the countries that have adopted the WTTC’s safety protocol are Iceland, Portugal, Jamaica, Panama and Mexico (Cancún).
“There are two phases. Before and after the Covid-19 vaccine. And some protocols will be maintained, such as taking people’s temperature at airports,” she added.
Gloria Guevara, from Mexico, is the first Latina and the first woman to head the World Travel & Tourism Council, which is based in London.
“We are living in unprecedented times. We are leveraging the experience we gained after 9/11, because in order to regain confidence, globally standardized protocols are necessary,” Guevara said.
“We are going to bring you information that should lower fear and stress levels, so you can travel safely in our so-called ‘new normal’.”
Ismael Cala interviewed the influential leader at the beginning of the new production season of Cala Mundos, his travel program. He is now resuming the schedule with an up-to-date and inspiring theme: Cala Mundos: “Safe Travel Edition.”
“This new edition is a testimony of supporting the desire and adventurous feelings of every traveler who, like me, need to be well informed of the new measures and precautions that the tourist world has taken so that we can start returning to the most popular destinations all over the world,” Ismael Cala said.
Cala Mundos is a new partnership between Cala Enterprises, producer RealFiction Group —and its producer/director David Barski— and Sigma-Analysis Group —and its director of Sales and Marketing Strategy, Rita Hernández.
Some of the destinations for this season are Europe, the Dominican Republic, Thailand, Canada, Costa Rica, Argentina, Australia, Iceland, Patagonia, Greece, Israel, Colombia, Mexico, and seven cities in the US.

Maria Gheridian’ s New Book Historia Gheridian, A Poignant Memoir Of A Journey Through Political And Social Injustices In Three Differing Societies
WALTHAM, Massachusetts, June 26, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Historia Gheridian: Tres Mundos was written by Maria Gheridian. Maria was an actress and educator and is currently retired living in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Maria Gheridian has said about her book: “Three worlds guided by the force of one planet, Earth. Three worlds so similar but at the same time so different. My family and I had to cross three different worlds and experience the political and social changes of various people and cultures to learn that in certain respects, society is the same everywhere. With the political changes we have seen how the misery of demagogue propaganda and resulting wars can destroy the history and culture of the people who have lived free for many years. With social changes, we have seen and experienced how the lack of means for a better life, and for opportunities for education can destroy people’s dreams for a future of peace. I and my family will not forget all the paths traveled to recognize the differences of the three worlds that we had to cross. With the personal changes that shaped my views of the world, and through the paths that I traveled traversing ‘three different worlds”, I learned that some worlds can be true and some just illusions of truth. If they call that ‘destiny,’ I have covered almost everything during my journey along the paths that each one of my worlds has pointed out to me. Through my journey I discovered mixed feelings of gains and losses, fulfillment and disappointment, love and heartbreak, truth and lies, wins and losses and, above all, the power to persevere”.
Published by Page Publishing, Maria Gheridian‘ s new book Historia Gheridian: Three worlds, follows a trail of pain and struggle experienced in three countries and challenging societies, resulting in personal turmoil and overbearing emotions.
