Cover Genius, a global insurance distribution platform, has announced a partnership with Airpaz to provide comprehensive travel insurance for customers in Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.
The partnership aims to deliver peace of mind to travellers in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region during the busy holiday season by addressing common travel disruptions such as emergency medical expenses, flight delays, and cancellations due to illness or jury duty, according to InsurTech Insights.
Cover Genius specialises in global insurance distribution, enabling businesses to embed tailored insurance solutions into their platforms.
Its proprietary technology allows for seamless integration, providing a smooth claims experience for customers.
Airpaz, a leading online travel agency, caters to millions of customers in Southeast Asia with a focus on making travel booking convenient and affordable.
This collaboration comes at a pivotal time, as global tourism sees a strong rebound in 2024. International arrivals are up 16% compared to 2023, with the APAC region leading the recovery with a 33% increase in arrivals. However, the surge in travel also highlights the growing need for reliable insurance solutions to mitigate issues such as delays, cancellations, and lost luggage.
By integrating Cover Genius’s insurance platform into Airpaz’s booking process, the travel agency enhances its service offerings, enabling customers to purchase insurance at the point of booking. This partnership ensures millions of Airpaz’s users can enjoy a secure and convenient travel experience.
“This exciting partnership for the APAC region is an example of our global reach that can help provide customised protection solutions to multiple markets with a seamless customer experience,” said William Snell, vice president of strategic partnerships – APAC at Cover Genius. “Our technology was swiftly integrated with Airpaz’s online platform and can offer their 3+ million customers a convenient, digital experience for claims on unexpected hiccups during their travel.”
He added, “For millions of passengers traveling during this busy season in the region, we’re thrilled to be able to provide some peace of mind for Airpaz customers and their families.”
As travel demand grows in the Asia-Pacific region, this partnership aims to ensure that travellers embark on their journeys with confidence, knowing they have access to robust insurance solutions.
