“But our technology platform and focus on customer experience allows for quick adoption of our services in the insurance sector so that all types of travelers, corporate and leisure, can benefit and ultimately stay out of harm's way.”
HARTFORD, Conn. (PRWEB) December 07, 2017
Travel Insured’s new and improved mobile application is the perfect travel companion before, during and after a traveler’s journey. The new feature within the app provides health advice such as recommended vaccinations or medications specific to the traveler’s itinerary to help prepare before leaving home. Safety advice, hospital locations, and emergency numbers are also available by destination. On the app you’re able to purchase a plan, file a claim, and have access to all of this important information – all on one application.
Through its partnership with Sitata, travelers using Travel Insured’s new service will be kept informed during their trip of any potentially disruptive events. Sitata’s advanced software systems use artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect travel-disrupting events from traditional news sources and social media. Sitata’s systems detect more than the usual governmental travel alerts and at a much faster pace. Whether it’s an incoming tropical storm, the latest disease outbreak, a violent protest down the street, or something as simple as a transit strike, all of Travel Insured’s policyholders will be notified if they’re at risk through the application and by email.
“Travel Insured is making an active investment in its services to improve our planholders’ experience when away from home,” said CEO of Travel Insured, John Gehris. “With this new offering included in each and every plan, we’re doing our best to ensure travel anxieties are kept to a minimum and now travelers can make informed, safe decisions with timely, relevant information.”
It’s no surprise that travel anxieties are high given recent events. High-profile terrorist attacks have been carried out in 2017 in popular tourist destinations within the United Kingdom, Spain, France, United States, Sweden, and Russia.
Through Travel Insured’s app, travelers are notified about travel disrupting events relevant to their trip in near real-time with each event highlighted on a map and additional advice for how to stay safe. There is no question about where an event is happening and what should be done.
With this level of proactive, global protection it’s not likely that travelers will find themselves in a bad situation. However, if a traveler does need help they can obtain assistance through a single tap inside the mobile application. Not only will insured travelers have the comfort of their travel protection plan, but also the reassurance that comes along with advanced global monitoring being right in their back pocket.
“In the past, these types of services have been used mainly by corporate travelers due to their high cost,” said CEO of Sitata, Adam St. John. “But our technology platform and focus on customer experience allows for quick adoption of our services in the insurance sector so that all types of travelers, corporate and leisure, can benefit and ultimately stay out of harm's way.”
