Travelport launches ‘Stay Safe’ hotel feature
Travelport has rolled out a new ‘Stay Safe’ feature to highlight to travel agents properties that comply with industry-wide safety programs.
It is available globally for agents via the API or Smartpoint agency desktop.
Stay Safe is a searchable tool which allows agents to easily share information to travelers regarding health and safety protocols in place.
"One of the key imperatives in the industry right now is ensuring our customers feel safe while traveling," said Jason Toothman, Managing Director of Sales at Travelport.
"Adding a way for hotels to clearly communicate with travel agencies, who can then share this information with their customers, is a simple but important way for Travelport to make the agency workflow more efficient and less frustrating."
Numerous travel industry and government bodies have issued guidelines to support confidence in travel again, such as the World Travel and Tourism Council (and the UN World Health Organization.
Initiatives have focused on various hotel cleaning measures, social distancing and contactless transactions and interactions.
