TapTrip partners with TravelPerk to offer real-time insight for travelling safely on business

Manchester, UK-based travel technology company, TapTrip has partnered with Barcelona-headquartered international business travel platform TravelPerk to offer Covid-secure business travel. The partners have integrated TravelSafe API, a new product allowing OTAs, tour operators, airlines and travel management companies (TMCs) to supply customers with real time insights on point-to-point travel restrictions and requirements on both outbound and inbound destinations, Covid-19 transmission levels, vaccine exceptions and local guidelines directly into their interface. The API is powered by TravelPerk’s own data and technology, created to inform and support customers so they can book trips with confidence and travel safely. TapTrip’s online booking tool allows TMCs to provide the SME sector with a robust, intuitive, user-experience focused platform for booking and managing business travel, as well as a companion mobile app to manage traveller safety, wellbeing and bleisure components while on the go. Neil Ruth, TapTrip COO, said: “By integrating TravelPerk’s expertise and data within our own booking platform, we hope to increase company confidence to book business travel by providing travellers with the most up to date information they need to travel safely and independently. “We have been fortunate to partner with some great brands in the travel industry, including Expensify, Ticketmaster, Zomato and Eventbrite, and we’re equally delighted to partner with TravelPerk and integrate TravelSafe to further strengthen our offering.” Ross McNairn, chief product officer at TravelPerk, said: “We’re excited to launch our partnership with TapTrip. Through our full TravelSafe API integration, we’re offering our mutual clients unique travel information so they’re confident they can travel safely.”
