ePassengerCare™ Introduces Luggage-Protection Service
Featuring Safety Pooch™

Travel Agents Can Generate New Revenue Streams While Providing Clients with Added Layers of Security

MIAMI - ePassengerCare today introduced a luggage-protection service featuring the Safety Pooch, a tamper-resistant, disposable pouch that meets the latest TSA procedures.

Travelers can use the pouch to physically protect their luggage from pilferage, manipulation and damage. The service includes 24-hour-a-day luggage tracking and retrieval assistance and a $1,200 lost-luggage insurance policy administered by AXA Assistance USA. Sold through authorized travel agents, the service gives travel professionals opportunities to generate new revenue streams while providing clients with added layers of security. Travel agencies can purchase ePassengerCare travel service kits for $6.50 USD and sell them to clients for the suggested retail price of $12 USD. Each travel service kit contains two Safety Pooch pouches for round-trip protection, a luggage tag with a tracking registration number, a permanent marker, plastic cutter, instruction manual and TSA information pamphlet.

"Our service combines the best of all worlds to provide travelers with the highest level of security and comfort when it comes to their luggage," said Ed Sarasola, president and CEO of ePassengerCare. "When a traveler purchases one of our kits from a travel agent, all it takes is the application of the suitcase in a Safety Pooch, the writing of the traveler's name and trip information on the outside of the pouch, and the online or telephone registration of the luggage using the tracking number provided. With this service, we cover the traveler and transportation provider on all fronts."
