    Geopolitical crises and multiple challenges notably impact not only private life but also have significant repercussions on business travel. Simultaneously, companies bear a duty of care towards their employees, applicable to both large corporations and small enterprises. The challenge lies in the fact that Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) often lack an in-house Travel Manager. In response to this specific need, Kuoni Business Travel now offers a compelling added value for small businesses. In collaboration with our partner TouristMobile, SMEs can now benefit from valuable content on safety-related aspects during global travels, accessible in both the mobile application "TravelMobile" and the web-based "Cockpit" version.

    These platforms will provide content from the renowned crisis warning and destination expert, A3M, through their extensive country database. This database comprehensively covers all essential safety-related information in various key travel destinations globally. Additionally, it keeps users updated on crisis events with potential risks. Another advantage is that, beyond the travelers themselves, Travel Managers in the respective companies will also benefit. They will have continuous visibility into the travels of their colleagues and can easily get in touch with them in case of emergencies.

    Andreas Schneider, Head of Kuoni Business Travel, commented, "With this new product, we are launching a fully-fledged travel risk system for SMEs for the first time at an extremely attractive price. In an age of increasing small and large risks, we see it as our duty to provide our customers with safety-relevant information when traveling."
