Travelport rolls out Covid-19 agent plugin
Travel tech firm Travelport has launched a new plugin for travel agents to stay updated on the latest Covid-19 restrictions and travel advisories.
The Travelport Covid-19 Smartpoint Plugin is available in the agent workflow and covers all pertinent information for advisors, from state and country entry requirements, lockdown restrictions and quarantine measures for travelers.
The data is provided by travel safety intelligence firm Safeture and is updated daily.
"Our collaboration with Travelport will provide millions of travelers with the information they need to make informed decisions," said Magnus Hultman, CEO of Safeture.
The Smartpoint Plugin is available free to all Travelport customers around the world who use Travelport Smartpoint 8.2 or later.
It can be downloaded directly from Travelport Marketplace.
"The travel ecosystem today is probably the most complex it has ever been. We’re making sure our agent partners no longer need to constantly leave their workflow to search for accurate and up-to-date information," said Kyle Moore, Travelport’s global head of customer strategy and marketing.
