Map Features Global Entry Requirements and COVID-19 Testing
and Quarantine Rules for Stress-Free Travel
TORONTO, April 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading travel
tech company sherpa˚ powers the return to travel by expanding its
product offering with their Travel Reopening Map. Travel providers
and customers are eager to start traveling again—but what was once
familiar is now complex due to the rapid pace of change in travel
rules. Through sherpa's map-based UI, partners, such as airlines,
online travel agencies and cruise lines, can ease their customers'
hesitancy to book by enabling them to search for destinations open
to travel and COVID-19 testing and quarantine rules for both
outgoing and return routes.
American Airlines was the first partner to launch the map,
making it accessible to millions of AA's customers.
"International travel is an important part of our global economy
and human experience; yet, planning travel in a global pandemic is
a challenge," said sherpa° CEO, Max
Tremaine. "Our team's mission was to deliver a digital
solution that closes the information gap with the real-time
accuracy travellers need to make informed decisions and travel
confidently. This solution is just one part of our larger vision to
ease border crossing complexity by making it possible for travelers
to obtain requirements, documentation and visas in a single step
while they book their travel."
Unique to the map is the breadth of data; sherpa˚ processes
millions of data points from thousands of sources, including
governments, airlines, airports, tourism boards, public forums and
media outlets. Other critical features are in-destination COVID-19
testing sites and the ability for partners to increase booking
conversions by directing customers from the map back to their
flight destination pages.
The map-based UI is customizable and easily integrated into
partners' websites and apps via embeddable widgets, API or
white-label web apps. Multiple languages are supported, including
English, Spanish (South American), French (Canadian), German,
Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Turkish and Latvian, with more
languages in the pipeline.
