Travel Admin is the app devel- oped by the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) to replace the itineris app. The Travel Admin app meets your needs with a simple layout and a fresh, appealing design. In addition to the integrated trip registration, you can update your current location at the touch of a button, so the FDFA can contact you more easily if there is an emergency situation at your destina- tion. The app allows you to search and dis- play on a map all Swiss representations abroad that provide services to Swiss citi- zens. You can create andmanage your own travel checklists and consult the FDFA’s Travel Advice. The FDFA’s comprehensive travel app also features information from private­ sector partners. Travel Admin app is avail- able for download from the Apple and Google app stores. Bon voyage! (EDA)
