Biggest innovations in 2020: The TMC launched Travel Vitals in July 2020 as a single source of up-to-date information and data aggregated from hundreds of sources. Users can search travel guidelines by destination, airline, airport, hotel chain, train operator and ground transport provider. The tool, which is freely available to everyone, shows travel restrictions for specific locations and identifies Covid-19 infection rate spikes and hot spots. For GBT clients and travellers, Travel Vitals itinerary-specific information is delivered in digital channels including mobile app, chat and online booking tools (OBTs), as well as via travel counsellors.
