Through our partnership with sherpa˚, travelers no longer have to search multiple websites or resources for the latest information on international travel restrictions. Instead, travelers can quickly learn all the pertinent requirements for international trips while they are booking on the TripActions platform.
The product and implementation teams at sherpa˚ were great to work with, and most importantly, helped us meet the urgent needs of our travelers at the fast-paced development timelines they’ve come to expect.”
