TRIPADVISOR has introduced
a new safety feature that
makes it easier to find
reviews that contain reports
of safety-related incidents.
A notice will now appear at
the top of each review that
contains safety information,
to make it easier for travellers
to distinguish these from
other reviews.
Examples of reviews that
would be flagged include
any posted in the last year
concerning safety-related
incidents as well as new
reviews containing safety
issues, including assaults,
death and armed robbery.
Speaking to TNW,
Hayley Coleman, senior
communication manager
of TripAdvisor UK, says this
new feature will empower
travellers and advisers
in choosing suitable
accommodation.
Hayley stressed the
importance of the feature
for travel advisers, who, she
says, can use the information
to give clients sound advice
about where they are planning
to travel to, and take action
to support clients who may
be in destinations where
particular safety issues are
developing.
