Based on information from governments, international organizations and online official public sources, UNWTO has launched an online interactive dashboard on country and international policy responses to COVID-19 covering 220 countries and territories and more than 30 international and regional institutions.

This UNWTO COVID 19 policy tracker covers 220 countries and territories and more than 30 international and regional institutions. It monitors worldwide policy measures on aid and relief packages adopted by governments and international and regional institutions to address the impact the impact of COVID-19 and support businesses, jobs and households. The interactive map allows to search measures by categories (fiscal and monetary measures, jobs and skills, market intelligence and public-private partnerships, measures to restart tourism and domestic tourism) and by countries and regions. As the situation evolves countries start lifting borders restrictions and tourism takes steps to reopen, with policy initiatives increasingly focusing on measures to restart tourism. Among them, the COVID 19 tourism policy tracker includes examples of measures on health and safety protocols to promote safe, seamless travel and to restore confidence as key priorities for countries to support travel and tourism along with marketing and promotion campaigns to boost international and domestic tourism demand.
