MY Trip File, a private Internet online file system that was recently launched to give travellers mobile access to important travel documents, in case of an emergency. My Trip File was started by travel agent, Tanya Eldert, who wanted a way for her clients to easily access their private trip information should their papers or documents get lost while they were travelling. Travellers can now quickly link to important trip information and travel documents using a private, secure file through the Internet or smart mobile device for only $10 per trip or travel agents like Eldert can get a low-cost package to use on behalf of their clients.
“Good travel professionals know this is a service industry and we are always looking for ways to provide value to our clients. Travel agents can set up an account for only $17 per month that can provide private files for up to 50 clients at a time.” Eldert feels that her clients really appreciated the extra protection and easy private access to their important documents. “It is a great service that agents can personalize and it will only cost them about .30 cents a client!”
“I actually developed My Trip File after Hurricane Irene came through the Caribbean and the cruise ships had to leave passengers on San Juan when the ships were told to leave early.” According to Eldert, on most cruise excursions travellers are encouraged to leave your original passport in your cabin safe and go ashore with just the ship issued ID card. “If my documents were in My Trip File, I could walk into any hotel or Internet cafe and print up a copy of my passport in minutes, as well as have all my insurance papers and confirmation information available at the click of a button. It may not completely replace the original papers, but at least I would have some documentation and not just snorkelling gear and a ship card.”
My Trip File is expected to grow significantly as more agents and travellers learn about this option. With more people cruising and leaving the US, Internet solutions like My Trip File can be key in support people as they travel abroad. My Trip File is powered by Egnyte’s secured servers and a video and My Trip File and package information for travellers, agents and travel agencies can be found at: www.MyTripFile.com.
