2022: Track travel restrictions worldwide
On January 19, 2022, Sabre Corporation, a provider of technology and software for the global tourism industry, announced that it has expanded the functionality of the travel risk management SafePoint product, which now allows you to track current travel restrictions around the world.
The solution does not focus on individual events, but provides extensive information on the spread of COVID-19 and its new strains, as well as on country entry restrictions, including masks, vaccination certificates, health documents, and quarantine compliance requirements.
SafePoint monitors the world situation in near real time 24/7, collecting information from hundreds of sources about events and restrictions that may affect travel arrangements and/or travelers' safety. The solution helps travel agencies and corporate customers make more informed, thoughtful decisions and improve the safety of travelers, warning them in a timely manner about existing restrictions. This information can be used to take appropriate action at any stage of the visit.
"We believe that a solution designed to meet the interests of travelers and alert to crisis situations is necessary for any tourism business, especially in a world where recommendations for travelers can change so rapidly. We are pleased to work with our customers and provide them with products to improve the quality of service for travelers, "- noted Sonvit Pandya, Sabre's senior director of product management. |
"Instant access to up-to-date information on travel restrictions is essential for making the right decisions in the current environment," noted Anna McGurk, Operations Director of Norad Travel UK. |
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the travel industry, there are signs of recovery in the industry. Sabre aims to support a safe return to travel by providing customers with high-tech solutions that ensure the interests and safety of travelers in the current situation and in the future.
