Global travel intelligence specialist Riskline has launched TripReady, a new travel information solution.
TripReady is available as an API or an interactive web page, providing key travel information for a range of destinations after a booking is made. The product covers overall country safety information, travel advisories, vaccination details, visa requirements, and emergency contacts.
It also includes information on cultural and local customs, focusing on safety for LGBTQ+ and female travellers. The PRO version offers real-time alerts, customisable branding, and additional emergency contact numbers.
Riskline has primed the new solution as designed for travel management companies, online travel agencies, and tech providers, as well as corporates for their business travellers. These entities can utilise TripReady in their platforms and mobile apps to provide travellers with necessary safety information and document requirements for trip preparation.
Riskline highlighted that the business travel sector is expanding rapidly, with its market value projected to grow from £557.2 billion in 2020 to £1,602.1 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 13.2%. Revenue from the UK's flight market is expected to reach £21.8 billion by 2028, highlighting the significance of overseas travel for the UK economy.
Given the varying regulatory requirements across countries, the company noted that it is crucial for travel companies to offer reliable information to ensure travellers are well-prepared and informed before their trips.
Suzanne Sangiovese (pictured above), director of travel and technology at Riskline, highlighted the launch of the new solution as a “new standard” in the travel intelligence segment.
“With this new product, we aim to empower travellers to stay updated on any potential disruptions at their destination and provide them with the most relevant and useful information as soon as they have made their booking,” Sangiovese said.
Back in April, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) confirmed, following its post-implementation review, that the travel insurance signposting initiative is working as intended.
