Business travel often takes employees to unfamiliar cities and countries, so staying informed about local conditions is essential for personal safety and peace of mind.
A new, free app aims to help travelers remain aware of their surroundings and make informed decisions while visiting unfamiliar locations.
GeoSure is a complimentary app that gives business travelers real-time safety information for any area they’re visiting. It displays a safety score ranging from 1 to 100; lower numbers indicate safer locations, allowing users to quickly assess the relative risk of a neighborhood or district.
The app aggregates data from hundreds of reputable sources to generate its ratings. These sources include government and international agencies as well as public health organizations and user feedback. Factors considered in the score include women’s safety, political freedom, risk of physical harm, likelihood of theft and overall safety conditions. GeoSure has also expanded its ratings to include localized assessments for LGBTQ+ safety.
Covering more than 30,000 neighborhoods worldwide, GeoSure is available on smartphones and smartwatches, offering travelers convenient, at-a-glance guidance about the areas they visit. By presenting consolidated, location-specific safety insights, the app helps business travelers plan routes, select accommodations and remain vigilant in unfamiliar environments.
