Travel Insurance and Assistance Provider to Exhibit at its First GBTA Conference
RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Allianz Partners USA, a leader in travel insurance and travel assistance, will exhibit at the Global Business Travel Association convention scheduled for August 14 to 17 in San Diego. This is Allianz Partners' first time exhibiting at the annual conference, which is expected to draw thousands of travel industry professionals at its 53rd iteration. The company is attending the event to provide information to attendees on travel protection products that offer travel brands increased customer satisfaction and brand loyalty as well as significant opportunities for ancillary revenue.
Travel protection has become increasingly important to both businesses and their traveling employees as the COVID pandemic has increased attention on the corporate duty of care for travelers as well as the increased trend in "bleisure" travel. A 2021 survey of business travelers and travel managers found that almost a third of business travelers (31 percent) would ask to limit travel if their company does not implement policies or measures to help protect their health and safety and 89 percent say they will add personal vacation time to their business trips over the next 12 months.
Travel protection products* from Allianz Partners can provide protection against financial losses that result from trips that are canceled or interrupted due to a reason covered by the policy, as well as provide coverage for medical emergencies while on your trip. Allianz's 24/7 travel assistance team can help with almost any travel-related problem, including health and safety issues. The company's medical assistance team can help arrange emergency medical transportation if deemed necessary, consult with a traveler's treating medical professional to make sure the patient receives appropriate care, relay updates to family members and more.
"We're thrilled to be exhibiting at the 2022 Global Business Travel Association's annual convention," said Richard Aquino, Vice President and Head of Sales at Allianz Partners USA. "Since the pandemic began in 2020, travel protection has risen to the top of traveler checklists. We look forward to meeting with industry professionals who want to learn more about how we can protect business travelers' trips."
Allianz Partners offers a number of different products to match the needs of travelers, including per trip and annual insurance products. Some products include coverage for rental car damage or theft.
Allianz Partners is located at booth 2050, directly across from the SkyTeam + Delta Partners booth.
