Description
TravelMonitor is Excursionist’s hazard intelligence companion for operations managers. It connects live environmental feeds, internal booking data, and targeted notifications so your team knows exactly when a guest itinerary is threatened, and what todo next.
Real-time hazard coverage
- Aggregates data from Ambee (air quality, severe weather, extreme temperatures, floods, landslides, tropical cyclones, tsunamis)
and the USGS (earthquakes, volcanoes).
- Applies Excursionist-specific risk rules to filter out distant noise while surfacing events that impact your destinations in the
United States and Canada.
- Delivers rich push notifications per hazard lane, tailored to the guest’s destination and distance from the event.
Guest file insights
- Mirrors anonymized booking data so you can see when hazardous events impact traveling itineraries.
- Filter events by hazard type, risk level, state, or destination to zero in on destinations.
- Tap any event for detailed timestamps, severity summaries, and affected locations so you can brief partners quickly.
Personalized alerts & daily digest
- Enable live push alerts to receive hazard-specific notifications the instant conditions change.
- Opt into the daily summary email by verifying your Excursionist ops email; each morning you’ll receive a digest of the last 24 hours of hazards mapped to active destinations.
- Push and email preferences can be toggles from app preferences, so you always receive the updates you want.
Privacy-first design
- No login required; operations managers simply install and grant device permissions; users confirm email addresses to receive daily email reports.
- The app links directly to Excursionist’s privacy policy (https://www.excursionist.com/privacy-policy/) and keeps telemetry minimal, just enough to ensure notifications reach the right device.
