Allianz Partners joins WTTC
The travel insurer has joined the organisation as an industry partner, to provide expertise and exchange knowledge with other members
Allianz Partners has joined the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) as an industry partner.
According to a joint statement, the partnership will see Allianz Partners “contribute its expertise in travel protection, assistance, and digital innovation” to discussions around “traveller confidence, emergency services, and the evolution of seamless, end-to-end travel experiences”.
In return, joining WTTC will allow Allianz Partners to learn from its other members, exchanging knowledge and collaborating.
“Welcoming Allianz Partners to WTTC highlights the increasing importance of resilience and traveller assurance in a rapidly evolving travel and tourism landscape,” said Gloria Guevara, President and CEO of WTTC. “As the sector grows and adapts, integrated insurance and assistance solutions play a vital role in enabling safe, confident, and frictionless journeys. Allianz Partners brings valuable global insight and innovation that will help strengthen our collective efforts to build a more resilient and future-ready sector.”
Anna Kofoed, Chief Officer Global Strategic Partnerships and Travel (Interim) at Allianz Partners, added: “The travel industry is transforming faster than ever, and WTTC is at the heart of that transformation. Becoming a member gives us the opportunity to bring our digital expertise and global perspective to a network that is actively shaping the future of travel.”
WTTC recently warned that proposed UK local visitor levies could harm growth and jobs.
