Sabre Adds COVID19 Risk Analytics from GoPass to Shopping APIs

Sabre has partnered with GoPass Global, a travel risk management platform, to help deliver COVID19 biosecurity risk analytics capabilities to the travel industry.

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.

“Sabre’s vast portfolio of services allows Developer Partners to create value across the entire traveller 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. “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 travellers 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.”

Powered by Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, GoPass Travel Risk Optimizer provides travellers 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.

“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 traveller,” said Mark Radford, CEO, GoPass Global. “It’s clear leisure travellers 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 travellers, have all of the critical information they need at their fingertips when planning their trip to make the decisions that are right for them.”
