SOUTHLAKE, Texas, June 15, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR), a leading
software and technology provider that powers the global travel
industry, has partnered with travel risk management platform GOPASS
Global to help deliver its game-changing COVID-19 biosecurity risk
analytics capabilities to the travel industry.
GOPASS Global solutions support both corporate and leisure
travelers to recommence travel with confidence through the use of
advanced analytics to deliver a single view of all the biosecurity
risk elements of a trip. Joining the Sabre Developer Partner
platform will help GOPASS Global to further improve its
competitive position in the global travel marketplace, while
further expanding Sabre's innovative open platform, which sits at
the intersection of supply and demand.
GOPASS travel risk management capabilities are now available to
travel agents across the globe. By integrating with Sabre's
shopping APIs, GOPASS populates a quantifiable risk score onto each
travel option and displays the information to agents, who are then
able to better advise their customers.
"For the travel industry to open up, recover and grow, it is
vital that we are able to reduce and mitigate the risk of travel so
we can instill renewed confidence in travel for both the leisure
and corporate traveler," said Mark
Radford, CEO, GOPASS Global. "It's clear leisure travelers
want to know about potential travel risks so they can avoid or
mitigate them. But this is especially critical for corporate travel
as we learn to live with this pandemic. Companies need to ensure
they are taking their duty of care to employees seriously when it
comes to travel. It's essential, therefore that travel agents, and
ultimately travelers, have all of the critical information they
need at their fingertips when planning their trip to make the
decisions that are right for them."
Powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence, GOPASS
Travel Risk Optimizer provides travelers with an end-to-end
analysis of all aspects of travel and their risk exposure in the
cycle of travel, including arrival and exit restrictions, flight
routes and transit, airports, airline and aircraft type, seat class
and travel advisories. GOPASS Global data also looks at country
conditions such as infection rates, government policies and data
reliability. Putting this all together, agents can obtain a risk
score out of ten per flight itinerary, enabling them to clearly
identify the lowest risk rates overall.
"Sabre's vast portfolio of services allows Developer Partners to
create value across the entire traveler journey; from inspiration,
and shopping to post booking so we're thrilled to be supporting
GOPASS Global as one of Sabre's approved developer partners," said
Marcos Pinedo, vice president,
partner solutions for Sabre Travel Solutions. "GOPASS Global helps
to simplify and shorten the shopping and booking workflow for
agents by providing all information required at shopping time,
helping them to be true travel experts for their customers and
enabling travelers to recommence travel with confidence. Our new
partnership with GOPASS Global is also a testament to Sabre's
ongoing commitment to breaking down walls in the travel technology
industry at a time when collaboration is more important than
ever."
