Travel restrictions guide for travel agents launches
In preparation for the travel industry bouncing back following the UK Government’s green list announcement, ROCK Insurance Group has launched a guide for travel agents to keep them up to date with the latest country travel guides and restrictions
The free-to-use guide has been devised in association with The Content Gym, an agency specialising in market outsourcing, following a lead sponsorship with ROCK Insurance Group. The guide covers all restrictions and Covid-19 tests required to travel to and from all major holiday destinations and will be constantly updated as restrictions evolve. In line with UK Government guidelines, it will provide up-to-date information on the Global Travel Taskforce’s traffic light system as countries are graded green, amber or red.
If testing restrictions are identified on a route, the site also uses government-approved test provider lists, linking travel agents seamlessly to relevant sites to book the required PCR or antigen tests.
Providing essential information to agent partners
Steve Endacott, one of The Content Gym’s investors and Chairman of ROCK Insurance, said: “As an industry, we suffered last summer from ever-changing restrictions and poorly laid out government sites, meaning thousands of hours were wasted as travel agents scoured the internet trying to find the latest requirements. We’ve tested the concept of the Travel Restrictions Guide and the response from over 800 agents has been overwhelmingly positive.”
Managing Director of ROCK Insurance Group, Antony Martin, added: “Agents and consumers have been accessing our Covid-friendly travel insurance products throughout the pandemic and this is the next logical step to provide essential information to our agent partners.”
ROCK Insurance Group will be the main sponsor of Travel Restrictions Guide for the next 12 months, which will be free to use for individual travel agents.
