Ready to book and leave for the holidays. The desire is there, but then in practice we are always afraid to book flights and hotels. This terrifying Covid-19 pandemic has deeply affected the world of tourism, especially the hotel sector. According to recent Istat data, the hotel market in Italy is made up of 33 thousand structures, which have had to face a year marked by the lockdown, recording a significant increase in cancellations and a decline in bookings.
It is good to know that Europ Assistance, to respond to the new needs of travelers, has launched the Hotel Safety Program, an insurance program dedicated to hotels and their customers which aims to guarantee guests a safe and secure stay. It provides various modular coverage solutions: booking cancellation, 24h health care with reimbursement of medical expenses and protection of your stay, with reimbursement in the event of an extension or early termination of the stay in the hotel. Obviously, all the guarantees are also valid in the event of Covid-19. The program offers complete protection and an advantage for both the structure and the guest: the latter guarantees the tranquility of traveling safely, the possibility of being able to cancel their holiday at any time, and to manage the complications of a forced extension of stay due to Covid-19.
The structure instead acquires a strong competitive advantage, offering a value and exclusive solution, dedicated to those who want to return to travel without worries.
“At a time when the world of tourism is experiencing complex dynamics and profound changes due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we need to think of solutions that meet the new needs of operators and their customers. In this scenario, travel needs change and Europ Assistance reinvents assistance, taking care of travelers and hosts. We have thus created a new innovative product designed for hotels and their customers, which gives safety, protection and which is beneficial for both ”says Mauro Cucci, Chief Travel & Personal Officer of Europ Assistance Italia.
Article I travel yes, but in safety seems to be the first of Vogue Italia.
