Cybersecurity specialist WISeKey International has unveiled an application to help travelers with COVID-19 restrictions as well as with environmentally friendly travel choices.
The app, WISeTravel, was developed by a consortium with the same name and is led by WISeKey and Climate Friendly Travel Services.
The idea is to give travelers access to a range of services to guide them through travel in the current crisis as well as to provide information on environmentally responsible travel companies.
Services available via the app include a secure wallet containing a traveler’s trip information as well as a Digital Travel Identity.
WISeTravel also offers a health compartment for any relevant certificates and an area containing information on the World Travel and Tourism Council safe travel stamp holders.
Additional features, related to environmentally friendly travel, include a carbon calculator to help consumers offset trips, information on responsible companies and details of travel and tourism companies that have signed up to a registry committing to carbon neutrality.
WISeTravel is led by Christoph Klenner, who previously ran lobbying organization EU Travel Tech (formerly ETTSA).
