WTTC Warns EES Border Queues Could Affect 41 Million Arrivals
The World Travel and Tourism Council estimates up to 41 million arrivals in Europe could be affected by queues as the Entry/Exit System is introduced.
The European Union's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU travellers biometrically at external border crossings, replacing manual passport stamping. It is being introduced progressively.
The World Travel and Tourism Council has estimated that up to 41 million arrivals could be affected by longer processing during the introduction, citing the time required for biometric registration at a first crossing.
The European Commission maintains the official guidance, including an application intended to let travellers complete part of the registration in advance. That guidance is the authoritative description of where and when the system applies.
