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.
