随着国家和目的地开始重新开放的过程beplay银行卡,经过几个月的锁定,人们开始再次感到自在地制定旅行计划时,对于旅行者和旅行顾问将来的期望仍然存在很大的困惑和不确定性。
To help advisors track these changes, Sitata, one of the world’s most comprehensive travel health and safety apps, is launching its newCovid Checker工具对于提供最新的冠状病毒统计数据并跟踪全球旅行限制的顾问。
Sitata is just one of a myriad of technology companies developing tools to help combat fear and health and safety questions pertaining to COVID-19. Sitata’s tool allows advisors to present information to their customers, and give them a better understanding of the situation at their desired destination, and as things continue to change, it will become even more important to stay informed and update their clients about what changes are happening all over the globe.
Sitata首席执行官亚当·圣约翰(Adam St. John)表示:“我们正在努力尽最大努力支持该行业,我们希望对健康旅行的信仰能够回来。”“我们正在尽力帮助恢复对旅行的信心。”
How the COVID Checker tool works
The Sitata app utilizes AI technology to monitor global happenings 24/7 and keep travelers updated in real time. The company used the technology to track the spread of the coronavirus back in December, and published its first warnings to its users before even before the World Health Organization.
该应用程序通过从全球目的地和来源收集相关信息,包括旅行中断,并以简洁,相关的方式访问信息。beplay银行卡它基于五个类别跟踪变化:机场关闭,边界关闭,社交距离信息,宵禁和运输,每天提供100多个更新。
“So whenever a country announces that things are changing, we pick up on that and boil that information down in a very easy to use way, to give you an understanding of if you can get into the country, if public transportation is running, if you’ll need to wear a mask, will you be put in quarantine… all of these questions can be answered with a quick search through the tool.”
未来的旅行预测
“We are seeing enormous pressures on governments to reopen, and restore the economy, and at the same time, most want to keep everyone safe and healthy,” said St. John. “There’s a balance there, and different countries are taking different approaches, but broadly speaking, we’re seeing the loosening of travel restrictions.”
他说,尽管令人鼓舞的是看到国家和目的地开放,但如果不正确处理,也存在潜在的危险。beplay银行卡

“Before international travel picks up, what we’re seeing is secondary and tertiary outbreaks starting to form, and the goal for most countries is to squash those outbreaks as they pop up, and contain them as much as possible,” said St. John. “We’re anticipating a world where there will be a loosening of restrictions, and then a retightening as [outbreaks flare up].”
He also said advisors should look to how the outbreak has been handled across Asia, to have some indication of what to expect in the near-future. “They’re a couple of weeks ahead of us, so it’s always a good idea to see what might be happening in the next couple of weeks.”
圣约翰预测,该行业将看到整个行业发生的一波变化,“这确实是我们的实力发挥作用……这就是我们认为我们的工具可以为顾问带来很多价值的地方。”
Adding value for advisors
The tool is freely available to travel advisors, and it is backed by an API (application programming interface), which can allow users to embed the program into their own websites and customize them at will to better fit their company’s aesthetic.
“Any advisors can go to the COVID Checker site and receive an embed code they can add to their website or portals. It’s really up to them how they use it. If they want a more customized approach, maybe putting this on their app or personalize for their own brand,” said St. John.
Covid Checker工具还利用了一家名为Eddy Travels的旅行聊天机器人公司,以快速有效地满足用户的需求。
And as the industry continues to change in preparation for the return of travel, it will become more important than ever for advisors to keep their clients updated, and to stay as informed as possible about what changes are happening all over the globe.
