BeTravelSAFE Launches its Cloud-Based Online Travel Wallet for Travelers to Back Up and Safeguard Essential Travel Details

London, UK (PRWEB) October 16, 2012

BeTravelSAFE (http://www.BeTravelSAFE.com) today announced the launch of its new Online Travel Wallet for travelers, an initiative to help travelers back up and securely store personal and business travel documents in case of an emergency. The platform allows travelers to store information related to travel reservations, finance, insurance and other personal documents in their own safe, secure, hosted server environment which can be accessed on the move. BeTravelSAFE is owned by Depositit (http://www.depositit.com), a leader in business continuity solutions including enterprise data backup and an innovator in cloud storage in the UK since 1999.

Losing or misplacing key personal and travel documents is both a massive inconvenience and a logistical interruption. Over 350,000 passports are renewed every year in the UK alone, according to the Identity and Passport Service (IPS). In the United States, the State Department reported 253,037 lost American passports and 60,984 stolen worldwide in the last fiscal year. Add to that the millions of lost, stolen and cloned credit cards, licenses and mobile phones to clearly see why backing up records is important.

This is the safest and most convenient online backup solution travelers can use, said Anthony Ryb, Founder and Director at BeTravelSAFE. All data is encrypted ensuring complete privacy for everything stored with us, and we are also using the secure compliant infrastructure developed by Depositit in order to further encrypt and back up the information in two separate, commercially independent data centers.

BeTravelSAFE is free of charge and available for both corporate and leisure travelers. Users can upload or input a variety of personal data:


Personal: passport, identity cards, driving license, travel visa, medical/optical prescriptions.
Reservation and Loyalty information: airline tickets; dining, entertainment and sports reservations; car rental and access to Online Travel Agencies.
Banking: credit card helplines, bank account information, online banking and insurance policies.
Communications: mobile handset details, emergency contact numbers and documents.

Whether lost, stolen or to simply access some details, there is now a way to easily retrieve your vital travel information anytime, added Anthony Ryb. “BeTravelSAFE allows travelers to keep their details safe by offering secure online storage that can be accessed from any device, anywhere in the world. This means they can focus on a worry free vacation or business trip.

http://www.BeTravelSAFE.com can be fully integrated into insurance policies, rebranded, white labelled or sold as a stand along solution.

Bridgetown, Barbados (PRWEB) December 21, 2012 The new mobile calendar for things to do in Barbados, WhatsOnInBarbados.com, is not just another calendar. It is designed for the future of mobile travel and solves one of the biggest issues in design and accessibility for the diverse range of devices and platforms for mobile. The problem is that there are hundreds of mobile devices and operating systems. Building native Calendar apps (for an iPhone or an Android app etc) is not always the smartest way to go, as the cost of development and maintenance for all devices is unsustainable for a small team. A web based Calendar is, on the other hand, universally accessible without having to download apps, which can be irritating for travelers who just want to get the news on things to do, now. Websites for mobile, however, are often too general and do not take advantage of the special features and resources of the different platforms and devices. The solution is a smart web based platform that responds and configures itself to the device in an intelligent way. In this solution, the software not only reconfigures the information and graphics for each specific device it also accesses and uses native features like the date picker built into the device, just as a native app would. Kathy-Lynn Ward, COO of AXSES (the company behind the BTE) and developer of a range of tourism technology including several other travel apps, says “Using HTML5 and the jQuery has helped us build a smart Calendar platform that can now be tweaked to work with every device with relative modest effort.” What that means is that as new devices come out and old ones change, the smart system simply adapts to them. “It is a hybrid of the native app, like iPhone or Android apps, and a website approach”. says Ward. “The difference is that we program the information about events to display differently for each device and even for each orientation in a device.” It is a lot of work upfront but will save a lifetime of work in the future. It is in fact built for the future! WOIB is the most widely used and most complete calendar of things to do in Barbados. THE BTE website, Barbados.org, is also the most extensive website of Barbados tourism and the most popular according to the Alexa competitive rank. The BTE calendar has been a feature from early days starting in 1996. it has thousands of users and subscribers and a database of numerous attractions, activities, contacts and venues.
