Explore the article ↓Location sharing
GPS tracking depends on the traveler enabling location sharing in the app.
Travel team visibility
The announcement describes a dashboard for finding travelers by trip, country, or name.
Communication
Travel teams can use available contact channels to follow up with travelers.
How the tracking feature supports a travel team
The original announcement introduced GPS location sharing within mTrip’s itinerary mobile app. Its risk management dashboard lets agents find travelers using filters such as agency, itinerary, country, or name, then use available contact channels to follow up.
Location sharing is opt-in
GPS tracking depends on the traveler enabling location sharing. It should be distinguished from itinerary-based tracking, which estimates a planned location from bookings. A location shown by a device and a booked itinerary do not provide the same information.
Business travel use
For TMCs and corporate travel teams, location information can support communication during a disruption or incident. Teams should define who reviews information, who contacts travelers, and how responses are coordinated. Tracking software alone does not establish legal compliance or guarantee safety.
Leisure and group travel use
The original article also described potential use by tour leaders and agencies supporting groups. Discuss the appropriate scope, traveler permissions, and communication process for your program with the mTrip team.
Confirm the module and workflow
Traveler tracking and risk management are optional paid capabilities. Review the data sources, permissions, and operational responsibilities before implementation. For the current offering, see mTrip’s traveler tracking and risk management product pages.
