The Safe Travel Score is an industry-first COVID-19 rating initiative, created in the wake of recovery from the pandemic.

It is based on an independent audit of traveler health and safety measures, along with traveler convenience initiatives, service excellence and overall traveler experience announced by suppliers, regulatory and government authorities to alleviate traveler anxiety and boost confidence.

The rating begins from a low of 1.0 to the high of 5.0

Safe Travel Score takes into consideration various initiatives taken by suppliers, categorized in one of the four sub-categories:

• COVID-19 Safety Protocols
• Traveler Convenience
• Service Excellence
• Traveler Experience

The Safe Travel Score encapsulates/quantifies all initiatives taken by travel suppliers to ensure health and safety of travelers, especially in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.

All initiatives have been assigned variable weights depending on their importance and relevance in the respective sub-category:

• COVID-19 safety protocols
• Traveler convenience
• Service excellence
• Travel experience

Similarly, the various sub-categories have differential weights assigned to them, basis upon their gravity in the traveler’s decision-making and actual journey. The aggregated weights by sub-categories are rolled-up to arrive at the final Safe Travel Score.
