TripsGuard.com, a new website designed to inform tourists and visitors about coronaviru­s restrictio­ns in 84 countries across the globe, was launched sunday amid continuing uncertaint­y that has impacted the global tourism industry, according to a press release from a company representa­tive.

developed by david Tabznikov, an Israeli “digital nomad” currently based in serbia, the website will allow users to see the policies of each country: whether its borders are fully or partially open, whether mandatory self-isolation rule is required and where that self-isolation should take place.

In addition, municipal or regional restrictio­ns within countries can also be examined by users, which may include the status of public transporta­tion in the area and police roadblocks. similarly, users can “track” countries of interest and receive alerts whenever there is a change in their guidelines.

project leader anna Blachman also highlighte­d the importance of the project, saying that the website is a tool for those who are planning a vacation or to travel for another purpose, and want to see if it is possible at this time and what restrictio­ns will be imposed on them.

she also noted that the TripsGuard website is updated daily from hundreds of different informatio­n sources, including residents from the place the user wants to visit, who can report on the state of coronaviru­s in their country.

The developers of TripsGuard.com have been involved in other projects focusing on tourism, such as Kiwi.com, Travix, Thelma Tourism and more.
