Travel management
platform TravelPerk has announced a partnership with Skyscanner that will see
the online travel agency take travel restriction information from TravelPerk’s
TravelSafe API to use in its interactive destination map.
The TravelSafe API
is gathered by TravelPerk from sources such as the UK’s FCDO and local
governmental websites and is cross-referenced by policy analysts. The API also includes
information on local restrictions and requirements, including quarantines,
testing and proof of vaccination, and advice on documentation such as passenger
locator forms.
Ross McNairn, chief product officer at TravelPerk, said: “We want to
equip travellers with the tools and information they need to start booking
trips again, confidently and safely. Our TravelSafe API is designed to do just
that and, by making it our first product that is available to the wider travel
sector, we hope to support the entire travel ecosystem as it recovers from the
disruption of the last 12 months.”
