UNIGLOBE Travel launches CAP to enhance safety and security for travelers




Two companies, each with a sprawling global footprint, are now offering unprecedented travel convenience and protection to leisure and business travelers. UNIGLOBE Travel Management Companies will now offer Crisis Assistance Plus (CAP™) as a part of their Travel Risk Management Program. A signature product of FocusPoint International, CAP™ is today’s most comprehensive travel assistance membership program available to individual and corporate travelers alike. Under this preferred supplier relationship, UNIGLOBE leisure customers will be able to add CAP™ at the time of booking online.
