IATA’s OneID
In combination with the World Travel & Tourism Council’s Seamless Passenger Journey, IATA’s OneID initiative aims to allow travellers to assert their identity once, therefore eliminating repetitive ID checks at security, border control and the gate. OneID includes: 1) a trusted digital identity; 2) an identity management platform; 3) identity verification through biometric recognition and; 4) a trust framework. |
IBMATA
The International Border Management and Technologies Association (IBMATA) is a not for profit international non-governmental organization (NGO). IBMATA is committed to the safe and secure movement of people and good across international borders. WorldReach has Non-Executive Director representation at IBMATA on Stakeholder Enablement. |
WTTC
The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) is a forum for the private international Travel and Tourism sector. WTTC works to increase awareness of Travel and Tourism as one of the world’s most sizable economic sectors. WTTC also prioritizes: Security & Travel Facilitation, Crisis Preparedness, Management & Recovery, and Sustainable Growth. WorldReach is proud to be represented in WTTC as a Global Member. |
WTTC’s Seamless Traveller Journey
WTTC advocates for the Seamless Traveller Journey approach. The Seamless Traveller Journey’s goal is to avoid having travellers repeatedly presenting their travel documents at various conjunctures in their travels, rather they would use a single biometric identifier, creating a secure ‘walk-through experience’ for traveller flow efficiency. WorldReach’s remote identity and document verification solutions supports this approach as the front door to Seamless Traveller Journeys. |
