Travel management companies using white-label apps provided
by mTrip now can integrate alerts from travel risk specialist Riskline into
those apps, the companies announced.
The alerts provide information on disasters, health issues,
terrorism, crime and political and economic stability, along with a risk
assessment level for a given area, with detail as granular as street-level.
Riskline also offers pre-trip guidance on destinations, including
"cultural, historical, or religious context that a traveller may need to
be aware of", according to the company.
Safety and risk alert services, such as Riskline, have taken
on new importance for many since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. In the
months since the global outbreak began, a number of existing alert services
have added capabilities to track and monitor the spread of the coronavirus,
while the pandemic has also spurred the creation of entirely new monitoring
services from risk management specialists and travel management providers
alike.
