Blogvasion has great news for the travelers, as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced a traveler-centric desktop widget as part of the integrated "Let's Get You Home" advertising and outreach campaign. the automated widget provides a trip countdown timer and weather at the traveler's destination and reminds the user to obtain appropriate travel documents, as the traveler's departure date approaches.

According to the PRWEB "We are using a wide range of media vehicles, in addition to television and magazine ads, to ensure that all segments of the population are familiar with the travel document requirements under WHTI," said CBP Assistant Commissioner Thomas S. Winkowski. "A digital strategy component allows CBP to reach audiences that are increasingly using the Internet as their source of news and information, especially related to travel. The widget, because it sits on the computer desktop, provides an ongoing and interactive reminder to travelers to get appropriate travel documents."

And if you are planning travel the Travel Widget is available to download from http://www.getyouhome.gov/.
