WeTravel–the all-in-one business management platform supporting booking and payments for thousands of multi-day travel businesses–launched free registration for Adventures Insured: Travel Insurance Tips for Adventure Tour Operators to equip adventure travel businesses with the knowledge they need to insure their travellers. 

The adventure travel segment is experiencing a surge with the market expecting to grow from US$366-billion (in 2022) to a staggering US$4.6-trillion by 2032. Despite the growing demand, lawyers and insurance brokers report that many travellers aren’t aware of the limitations of travel insurance, and tour operators can play an important role in selling the right insurance to travellers. In today’s evolving landscape, there is an emphasis for adventure travel businesses to prioritize educating themselves on the best practices of travel insurance.

“Adventure travel is all about embracing the unknown, but that doesn’t mean leaving everything to chance,” said Ted Clements, WeTravel’s CEO. “Having an understanding of travel insurance to be able to make informed decisions adds a layer of certainty in an uncertain world, ensuring that both travellers and tour operators can pursue these experiences with peace of mind. Through this webinar, we want to inform tour operators and destination management companies on how they can better understand and, therefore, better sell travel insurance to their intrepid travellers.”

• Featuring insurance experts from Pattern and Travelex, this one-hour panel discussion will explore:
• Examining the significant role of travel insurance in adventure tourism and its advantages for your business.
• Providing guidance on the optimal methods for incorporating travel insurance into your offerings, whether as mandatory or optional coverage.
• Offering insights into the claim filing process for accidents and cancellations, supplemented with real-life examples for practical understanding.
• All registrants will be provided with a recording after the webinar concludes and the opportunity to ask the panelists live questions.

“Travel insurance may seem complex, but it’s crucial to prioritize safeguarding our adventures. Beyond mere policies and procedures, it offers travellers peace of mind, empowering them to delve into their journeys with confidence, while also serving as a protective shield for travel businesses,” said Clements.
