WCG Consulting Ltd, a tourism marketing and development company, announced an official partnership with Azova Inc, creator of the world’s most comprehensive digital health network for COVID-19 testing and vaccination management, to complement the efforts of Caribbean countries in providing for arrival, quarantine release, and departure to and from partner islands.

“I am especially pleased to join with AZOVA to work on innovative ways of increasing safe travel to our islands. This digital platform expands the options for travellers, most notably the United States, and offers a hassle-free process for travellers. The management of the Covid virus in the coming months plays the most important part of the destiny and future tourism success of our islands”, said William ‘Billy’ Griffith, Managing Director of WCG Consulting, and who is also the current Chairman of the Allied Membership of the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO).

For arrival testing, AZOVA has so far partnered with Destination Barbados to provide a seamless Concierge Testing Service for travelers who request a concierge to arrive at their home, office, or hotel to complete the required provider-administered nasopharyngeal swab test.  This service is available in all major US cities. For quarantine release and departure testing, AZOVA has also partnered with, and created a digital network of, all the major testing providers on the island to enable travelers to book quarantine release and in person or concierge departure testing services through the AZOVA application. AZOVA’s on island Concierge COVID-19 Testing Service is available throughout Barbados at hotels, residences, businesses and a network of certified labs. All test results are available through AZOVA’s COVID Credentials™ Health Pass.  Travelers can securely share their test results via pdf, QR code or with a unique credential ID.

“We are excited to join in partnership with Billy Griffith and his company and are currently in discussion with more islands in the Caribbean region to sign on to our program,” stated Cheryl Lee Eberting, MD, CEO and founder of AZOVA. “This is digital health at its finest, but is really only scratching the surface with the potential benefits that can come from creating connected and efficient care delivery models such as this. I am especially proud of Azova’s contribution to ensuring safety during this unprecedented pandemic and am honored to be working with the Caribbean in successfully navigating this period of crisis”
