Medical Travel Companions (MTC), the Leading Travel Assistance Provider, Joins the HERE Mobility Marketplace
SYDNEY, June 27, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Partnership to provide B2B ground transportation solutions for customers in 
need of non-medical travel assistance from transportation hubs across the world

HERE Mobility [https://mobility.here.com/], announced today that Medical Travel 
Companions (MTC), a leading provider of transportation and concierge services 
for travelers who require assistance, has joined the HERE Mobility Marketplace 
and made HERE Mobility their leading ground transportation provider. The 
partnership will connect MTC's customers to transportation providers on the 
HERE Mobility Marketplace, providing users with the widest array of mobility 
options on a single multi-modal platform.

Travel is complicated for the 1 billion people worldwide living with a 
disability. Mishandled wheelchairs, busy young families, communication barriers 
with personnel, and physical impediments complicate domestic and international 
travel. Even fully able travelers can dread the travel process if they are 
elderly, anxiety-prone, underage, or traveling with young children or a large 
group. In these cases, a travel companion can ease the journey from A to B yet 
once a flight reaches its destination, travelers and their companions still 
must secure reliable ground transportation that meets their unique needs. 

The HERE Mobility Marketplace is an open and competitive smart mobility 
marketplace that aggregates all mobility services and transit options in 
real-time, including taxis, private hires, public transport, and more. HERE 
Mobility's partnerships with local transportation suppliers enable businesses 
like MTC to provide smooth and reliable transportation services to their 
customers. MTC will utilize HERE Mobility's concierge service, a B2B system 
that allows businesses to take transportation coordination off their customers' 
hands. MTC can book and manage all their clients rides via a single, 
streamlined dashboard that offers them all the different options.

"We are happy to partner with Medical Travel Companions, enabling them to offer 
transportation services to their customers," said Liad Itzhak, SVP, Head of 
HERE Mobility. "We understand that a significant part of the population 
struggles every time they need to travel and believe that transportation should 
be accessible and easy to use for all."

"Medical Travel Companions seeks to create a unique, personalized customer 
experience from pick-up all the way through to the traveler's destination," 
said CEO Ben Wilson. "We are excited to partner with HERE Mobility as it 
enriches the customer experience we provide. When locals, tourists, and 
visitors need transportation options, we want to connect them to mobility 
services that best fit their needs, whether that be handicap accessibility, 
accommodation for large groups, or options offering greater affordability. The 
Mobility Marketplace's concierge service is the easiest, most seamless system 
for providing this added service to our valued clients."
