Corporate travelers
Mitigating travel risk is especially critical for corporate travel as we learn to live with this pandemic. Companies need to ensure they are taking their duty of care to employees seriously when it comes to travel. It’s essential therefore, that travel agents, and ultimately travelers, have all of the critical information they need at their fingertips when planning their trip to make the decisions that are right for them. With travel risk scores coming to Sabre-connected agents, corporate travel is set to be well informed about travel risk.
Leisure travelers
It’s clear leisure travelers also want to know about potential travel risks so they can avoid or mitigate them. The GOPASS Travel Risk Optimizer provides an end-to-end analysis of all aspects of travel and their risk exposure in the cycle of travel. This includes arrival and exit restrictions, flight routes and transit, airports, airline and aircraft type, seat class and travel advisories. GOPASS Global data also looks at country conditions such as infection rates, government policies and data reliability.
Putting this all together, agents and travelers can obtain a risk score out of ten per flight itinerary, enabling them to clearly identify the lowest risk rates overall.
