Gray Dawes Travel has added to its client offering with the launch of three new products and services.
Podium, a traveller well-being programme, has been developed with leading sports university Loughborough and is intended to optimise human performance before, during and after every trip.
David Bishop, Gray Dawes’ chief commercial officer, said, “Podium delivers a series of bespoke wellness programmes to support businesses and individuals with a host of needs and challenges. We’re really excited to be working with Loughborough Sport; they support many of the country’s finest sporting institutions and have provided a wealth of hands-on athlete experiences from their team of physicians, nutritionists and sports psychologists.”
Legacy is a carbon offsetting programme developed in partnership with the UK’s Forest Carbon.
The programme uses a client’s travel bookings data to calculate the level of emissions and then offers the choice of planting trees or restoring peatland to offset them.
The third new offering is Passkey, a tool that helps travellers understand the entry and visa requirements in a post-Brexit and post-Covid world.
The tool, developed with CIBT, can determine whether a traveller’s visit classifies them as a business visitor and, therefore, what documentation they will need to carry with them on their journey. It also generates a bespoke support letter to facilitate simple entry to the traveller’s country of destination.
Ian Currington, director of account management at Gray Dawes Travel, said, “Individual country requirements for permissible travel and fluctuating border restrictions are changing almost daily.”
