As a result of this success, existing discussions have significantly advanced with the following near-term travel bubble opportunities:
NATIONAL TOURISM BOARDS – Dominican Tourism, Cayman Islands Tourism, Bahamas Tourism, Jamaican Tourism, and Turks & Caicos Tourism Boards.
WORLD RENOWN RESORTS – Iberostar, Bahia Principe, and Hyatt Resorts.
Today’s partnership with Loop and SimpliFlying now accelerates the possibility to truly deliver Travel Bubble solutions on a global basis. Empower Clinics already delivers diverse and dynamic testing solutions capable of processing thousands of tests per day through its world-class laboratory in Dallas, TX, then Loop provides a proven contact tracing technology and SimpliFlying connects the final piece to international airline carriers, airports, cruise lines, and ports that require solutions, procedures, and protocols.
Steven McAuley, Chairman, and CEO of Empower stated “The prospect of vaccines becoming available will not diminish the need for comprehensive testing solutions, contact tracing and strategic operational changes to so many industry and society processes and protocols. Loop Insights, SimpliFlying, and Empower’s testing products and lab capabilities are exactly what is needed to get our economy working again. Loop Insights’ contact tracing solution is proven, effective and ties together data and workflow. SimpliFlying with its deep connections to airlines, airports, tourism and hospitality provide the strategic design of how our solutions must work together, ensuring precise new workflows are implemented correctly, balancing health & safety with the most basic functional needs of travellers and operators.”
On October 19th, Loop and Empower Clinics (CBDT:CSE) (EPWCF:OTC) (8EC:FRA) announced a partnership that created the first-ever COVID-19 “Travel Bubble”, combining each company’s respective expertise in venue tracing and testing, each of which has made significant technological advancements and achieved significant milestones in the interim.

SIMPLIFLYING LAUNCH OF “SIMPLITESTED” RECEIVES EARLY PRAISE AS ONE OF THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE APPROACHES SO FAR
With the Coronavirus Pandemic wreaking havoc on the global airline and tourism industry, the work of SimpliFlying has become more important than ever in helping to solve how airlines, airports, cruise lines, hotels, and tourism will safely get back to operations. SimpliFlying is working closely with major international airlines and major Canadian airlines on “Travel Bubbles” and “Tourism Bubbles” that involve testing and tracing protocols throughout the travel supply chain.
To this end, SimpliFlying has just launched SimpliTested to highlight and support the needs of key industries around the globe, in partnership with FDA and CE approved testing providers, reliable labs, and cutting-edge exposure notification apps. The initiative has already received early praise from the media:
“Simpliflying’s “Testing+” proposal is one of the most comprehensive approaches we’ve seen proposed so far.” (Forbes “How Testing Can Get The World Flying Again” (September 17, 2020)
Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated “This partnership is a very important and powerful next step to accelerate Loop’s potential growth. With the Company’s recent launch of its first live venue events, with the whole world watching, including world-renown venues and hospitality companies, Loop hit it out of the park and provided the world with the empirical data necessary to demonstrate our bubble solution is nothing short of world-class. By adding the direct integration with Empower’s diverse testing capabilities and SimpliFlying’s network of large-scale customer projects, we have now commenced significant discussions surrounding travel bubble opportunities with some of North America’s largest airlines, resort operators, venues, and hospitality groups globally. We anticipate this new revenue stream may be significant for the Company as we progress these opportunities in 2021.
Specifically, in the case of Loop, the Company recently announced the successful execution of its “Venue Bubble” solution in two separate live environments hosting NCAA Division 1 basketball teams. This implementation represented the first-ever end-to-end COVID-19 Venue Bubble Solution in a live environment.
Shashank Nigam, Founder & CEO of SimpliFlying stated “The travel industry needs a consistent testing standard that is accurate, affordable and easy to self-administer, with reliable contact tracing. The SimpliTested solution disrupts and drastically improves COVID testing for travel in partnership with Empower Clinics and Loop Insights. Testing can be comfortable and contact tracing built-in to ensure the risk of community exposure is severely restricted. This instantly makes it more appealing to the average traveller, airlines, resorts, and the local tourism authorities.”
