As more people get vaccinated against the coronavirus and spring weather coaxes people outside, we’re all thinking about those travel plans we shelved last summer. But with COVID-19 travel restrictions varying by country and by state in the US, it’s difficult to figure out what’s safe and what the latest rules are. Expedia Group whose online travel agent (OTA) websites include Expedia, Vrbo, Travelocity, Hotels.com, and others has created a tool to help travelers plan trips while adhering to COVID-19 restrictions at their destinations.
It can prove challenging to find these details from a reliable source, so we teamed up with Sherpa to seamlessly integrate a solution into our apps, websites, and customer communications, she added. Our goal is to reduce friction for travelers during a time when they need extra support and empower them to make responsible decisions.
Expedia Group is partnering with Sherpa, a global provider of travel identification requirements for the travel industry, to offer the tool. Sherpa s technology has also been deployed in similar joint efforts with air carriers American Airlines and Caribbean Airlines, the OneWorld airline alliance and guided vacation company The Travel Corp.
