Sabre launches safety solution

Sabre has unveiled a new mobile duty of care solution to help corporations monitor their employees trips. SafePoint aims to provides peace of mind for corporations by bringing risk management to the traveller.

SafePoint automatically monitors all of the corporation's trips. For travelers using TripCase, SafePoint will monitor a traveler's entire itinerary, not just PNR segments. This includes out of program bookings and other trip components. TripCase allows the traveler to check-in with their corporation and provide GPS location while also having easy access to their emergency assistance hotline. For travel managers, risk management teams and security advisors an intuitive dashboard allows them to view events impacting their travelers in a consumer grade user experience across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.

Sabre has selected iJET International, the leader in travel risk management, as the exclusive provider of travel and security intelligence to SafePoint. In the event of an incident or disrupted travel, iJET's best-in-class travel intelligence will feed into SafePoint which will automatically notify impacted travelers via the TripCase mobile app, SMS, email and push notifications.

"Sabre's SafePoint solution not only puts the most critical travel intelligence into the palms of the traveler's hands, but takes the additional step of providing automated, proactive trip monitoring," said Theresa Thomas, senior vice president Powered by iJET. "In the current environment of evolving global events, knowing that you have an additional set of eyes looking out for your travelers' well-being can go a long way to helping to ensure your travelers' safety and security."

The safety tracking capabilities of SafePoint are integrated in TripCase as a single solution to access and manage all trip-based data, and travelers don't need to download a separate app out of corporate policy.

"Corporations today are challenged with providing a duty of care solution for their traveling employees in the time of a crisis, and many business travelers are unaware of their company's available resources if something should happen while traveling," said Clinton Anderson, senior vice president – corporate strategy and traveler experience for Sabre. "We know that travelers are more likely to stay connected in times of crisis with an app that helps them across the trip life cycle including travel risk management. With SafePoint, travelers don't need to download another app as alerts, check-in and emergency assistance are integrated into TripCase."

Delfin Amazon Cruises employs armed guards after robbery

The Amazon Discovery was robbed on July 14.

Following an early morning robbery aboard the Amazon Discovery on July 14, Delfin Amazon Cruises has implemented improved security measures on all of its vessels.

Prior to the robbery, the Discovery had cruised with 24-hour unarmed guards and a spotlighting system for surveillance. All entrances to the ship have metal security doors, which are sealed at 6:30 p.m.

Now, Delfin has added plainclothes armed members of Peru's National Police. They are on duty around the clock. Also, a laser alarm system is being installed on all ships. The alarm triggers when a mass of more than 150 pounds approaches. These new measures will be in place indefinitely.

The robbery took place at 3:30 a.m. on July 14 while the ship was on the Amazon River about two hours south of Iquitos, Peru. Seven assailants carrying small firearms boarded the ship from the stern after approaching in a motorboat. The bandits took approximately $ 22,000 in cash as well as valuables that have yet to be appraised. No guests were injured.

The search for the bandits is ongoing, and Delfin is working with local authorities to identify them.

"Last week's robbery was an isolated incident. It was the first event of its kind in Delfin Amazon Cruises' 10 years of cruising the Amazon River," the company said. "We do not believe the region is any less safe for visitors."

New global leader for FCM Travel Solutions as Eklund joins

FCM Travel Solutions has announced the appointment of a new global leader, with Marcus Eklund appointed to the role.

He will begin work in late August this year.

Most recently from the travel technology company Amadeus, Eklund has worked closely with FCM in recent years and has extensive experience working with both travel agencies and corporations on management of business travel programs.

"We are very excited to bring Marcus on board.

"With his travel industry experience and his deep knowledge of international businesses and customs from having lived and worked in eight different countries over his career – he will be a great asset to the brand," said Steve Norris, managing director of Flight Centre Corporate for Europe & Africa.

The announcement comes after Eklund's predecessor, Gregory Lording, announced his intention to take an extended sabbatical leave after six successful years growing the organisation's global network and multinational business.

"FCM has gone from strength to strength in recent years, growing from 50 countries to more than 90 and seeing revenue from multinational sales more than double since 2011," said Norris.

"We would like to acknowledge Gregory for his contribution over the last six years and equally look forward to the continued success of FCM Travel Solutions with Marcus as the new global leader."

As part of the new appointment, the location of the role has been moved from Sydney to London, as FCM continues its focus on multinational business opportunities in Europe and North America, expanding off the successful footprint built in the Asia-Pacific where the company was founded.

Description:
People are obsessed with time travel. After all, who hasn't dreamed of hooking some form of flux capacitor up to the family car and heading back in time to see what things were really like? Unfortunately, those pesky scientists have argued time and time again that time travel is simply not possible. What do they know? OK, so in order to make it possible we'd have to travel faster than the speed of light which is theoretically impossible to do. We'd probably need a DeLorean because it would make things just feel right – and they are getting harder and harder to find in good running order. Finally, you'd need some uranium to power your time machine – if the movies are anything to go by – and given the way the way the world reacts to certain countries handling the radioactive stuff we're thinking that might be pretty near impossible.
Still, none of this 'proof' has stopped us from thinking about time travel and dreaming that one day we could go forward or backwards in time. Until then, we'll just have to let our imaginations run wild as we search for any shred of 'evidence' to prove that time travel is possible. And searched we have. Recently, there's been a big trend of searching out old photos to find anomalies or things that just don't fit. Whether objects or people who seem out of place, some have taken this as proof of some sort of time travel ability. We'll let you take a look and be the judge of it all.
