Why US Traveler Assist?
Pedigree:
Other firms claim to have “contacts” and access to “former officials”. But who are they? With US Traveler Assist, you know who your security expert is: A former senior US official with proven pedigree in your local country, available to you immediately upon joining.
Direct Access:
While other firms claim to have access to a “former official”, they do not allow you to have direct access to that individual. With USTA, you speak directly to your Point of Contact (PoC) and have access to them 24/7.
On the Ground:
Other firms provide a 1-800 number or US based number to call in a safety emergency. But where is that person based? If they are located far away, how can they really help? With US Traveler Assist your expert is based in your destination country, where they have developed their expertise for years and stand ready to assist.
Local Contacts:
Our in-country presence allows our Point of Contact (PoC) to access local contacts quickly and directly, and to assist our clients in the most efficient and timely manner.
