The Clean&care Certification Board

The Clean & Care Certification Board is a WTO sponsored not-for-profit travel audit and certification organization that manages the "COVID Peace of Mind" list of global COVID safer destination objects for travel professionals and TOs looking into serving their more COVID sensitive groups and individual clients.
