Panel discussion: Aruba’s digital travel credential: Real-world success

Join the government of Aruba, Indicio, and SITA for a deep dive into how DTCs are transforming border crossings. Learn how Aruba has successfully deployed DTCs to combat fraud, improve data quality, and enable pre-clearance for travelers – plus how embedded biometrics allow a border crossing in under 10 seconds. The panel will also explore what’s next: expanding digital identities beyond the airport to hotels, car rentals, and casinos – seamlessly turning passengers into tourists while enhancing the experience for all stakeholders.

The audience will learn:

• Digital identity is real and useful, including for border crossing
• Empowering the traveler leads to better data quality and a facilitated experience
• The lessons Aruba learned, covering government and airport
• How the technology can be easily integrated into existing aviation processes
• The potential scope for digital identities beyond travel into events, destinations and experiences
