The Travel Corporation Launches New Travel Protection Program

What
The Travel Corporation (TTC) has announced new travel protection plans that include COVID-19 coverage and a cancel for any reason cash-back benefit. To better tailor the insurance to a client’s needs and risk tolerance, TTC is offering two travel protection plans — a basic and an upgraded plan, both with COVID-19 coverage. The plans are available for new bookings made on or after Dec. 15, for travel starting on April 1, 2021. 

Why It Matters
TTC had previously announced it was adding a Wellbeing Director position on every trip to help ensure adherence to all standards and to make sure that guests remain up to date with the latest guidelines and recommendations. Now, the company is taking the next step by providing advisors the assurance they need to recommend TTC trips to cautious clients. By offering these plans, the company is removing one more roadblock for advisors looking to make a sale. 

Fast Facts:
- TTC’s basic plan provides 100% of the non-refundable trip costs in Future Travel Credits. The upgraded plan provides 60% of the non-refundable trip costs in cash and another 20% in future travel credits.  

- Under both plans, COVID-19 will be considered a covered reason if a client is either diagnosed with COVID-19 or, at the direction of a government official or medical expert, is required to quarantine.  

What They Are Saying
“At TTC our priority is to provide our guests with reassuring peace of mind when booking and traveling on any of our brands, and this includes an improved travel protection plan with COVID-19 coverage,” said Brett Tollman, chief executive of The Travel Corporation. “This plan is an important addition to our booking flexibility, reduced deposit requirements, new Wellbeing Director position and industry-leading wellbeing protocols, which are all designed to instill confidence to travel with our brands in 2021.”
