The United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) has also embraced the WTTC Safe Travels stamp, which have the safety and hygiene of travellers as its top priority.

According to Gloria Guevara, WTTC President & CEO, “We are delighted to see major countries and destinations such as Egypt and Slovenia joining the growing list of global destinations adopting our private sector protocols. 

“This not only shows the success of the WTTC Safe Travel stamp, but also demonstrates its importance to travellers and those who work in the sector. 

“The stamp is critical to re-establish consumer confidence in Travel & Tourism and ensure travellers can rest assured that enhanced standards of hygiene are in place.

“As WTTC health and hygiene protocols, affecting hotels, restaurants, airports, cruise lines, tour operators, outdoor shopping, and transportation are implemented, so the list of destinations recognising the new stamp continues to grow.

Since the launch of the WTTC Safe Travels stamp, destination countries, cities and hotspots around the world such as Turkey, Bulgaria, Mauritius, Panama, Portugal, and the Mexican State of Jalisco, have now adopted WTTC’s new protocols.

Who says what!

Dr Khaled El-Enany, Egypt Minister of Tourism and Antiquities: 

“We are looking forward to welcoming guests to Egypt’s resorts in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Coast.”

Iván Eskildsen, Panama Minister of Tourism: 

“As the hub of the Americas, restoring confidence for travellers and tourists, will be a key factor for the reactivation of our industry and our economy.” 

Ivan Liptuga, President, National Tourism Organization of Ukraine:

“We commend WTTC for the strong initiative to design Safe Travels protocols for every link in the tourism value chain. One of NTO Ukraine’s core activities is quality management and the implementation of international standards in the sustainable development of tourism in Ukrainian destinations. 

Msc. Maja Pak, Director General of the Slovenian Tourist Board:

“The Slovenian Tourist Board is proud that Slovenia is one of the first countries in the world with recognised Safe Travels Protocols approved by the World Travel & Tourism Council.”

WTTC recently launched a range of worldwide measures as part of its Safe Travels protocols, providing consistency and guidance to travel providers and travellers about the new approach to health, hygiene, deep cleansing and physical distancing, in the ‘new normal’ of COVID-19 world.

In fact, the temple has two carvings of Nandi made of brass and black stone in the temple.
The beautiful four-faced idol of Lord Shiva or Eklingji is situated in the main temple which is placed on a towering pillared hall called a mandap.
With its 50 feet height, the idol reflects a distinguished beauty depicting four different forms of Lord Shiva. While its eastern side recognises Surya (sun), its western side stands for Lord Brahma creator), its northern side stands for Lord Vishu(the supreme being), and its southern side is Rudra (the mightiest of the mighty).
The Eklinga statue is encircled with the figures of Goddess Parvati (Wife of Shiva), Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartikay (sons of Shiva).

The initiative is consistent with his vision to streamline the fight against COVID-19 with immunity building and disease prevention.
Director of Global Alliance of LifeStyle Medicine, Pankaj Vij
“The 6 pillars of Lifestyle Medicine are feet (exercise), forks (diet), fingers (whether we smoke or drink excessively) as well as sleep, stress and love (social connections). During COVID, chronic problems that were earlier dangerous in the long-term, have now become short-term dangers as weakened immunities are at the highest risk of contracting COVID-19.”

“Large amounts of sugar, processed food and oils combined with less exercise, heightened stress and anxiety affect our metabolic health which can lead to chronic diseases like diabetes, overeating, eating addictive foods and much more. More vegetables and lesser whole grains and cereals should be consumed. Similarly, a holistic exercise routine should be developed keeping in mind the 4 pillars of exercise – stamina, strength, flexibility and endurance.”

How to find Health-Work-Life Balance Amid Pandemic?’

This is the burning question being asked by one and all amid present times as the COVID-19 pandemic has hit the world hard and people are reeling under lockdown since last many months
The world-renowned motivational speaker Shiv Khera shares tips to get Health-Work-Life Balance Amid Pandemic in a webinar which marked the initiation of a wellness movement in India called ‘Pehla Sukh- India Wellness Initiative’.
Here are three takeaways from his session:

1. Set your priorities right: One needs to set their priorities right. Each person, before the lockdown, was running fast with their unset priorities. However, lockdown, all of a sudden, stopped them and they can now be seen setting their priorities.
2. Avoiding messing up in life: The kind of time saving devices we are using today were never with us any time in history, however, despite this, we did not have time for ourselves. This is because we have messed up our priorities. At times, we forget what is important and what is non-important. Further, if we ignore what is important, it develops stress. So we need to avoid any kind of messing up and be clear in our thoughts.

3. Try coming out stronger: One needs to be emotionally stronger during lockdown and a person can become emotionally strong overnight. He needs to practice it via meditation and if he committed to himself, he shall definitely be emotional stronger.
