- As the
United States has emerged from the most recent economic recession during
the past decade, travel and tourism-related industries have bloomed to
historic levels of activity
- InsuraGuest
has developed a proprietary InsurTech software platform that delivers a
specialized insurance policy to hotels and vacation rental properties,
which covers the guest during their stay.
- The
insurance provides coverage for guest in the form of theft recovery, accidental
medical expenses and accidental death and dismemberment
- InsuraGuest
recently announced an LOI that extends its InsurTech platform and
insurance products from the United States to Europe and the United Kingdom
- Europe’s
hospitality stay market is more than double the market size in the United
States, indicating room for great potential in serving hotel and vacation
rental guests with the InsurTech insurance platform
Salt Lake City-based SaaS provider InsuraGuest recently
announced a landmark LOI for the company that opens the doors to the United
Kingdom’s and Europe’s hotel and vacation rental markets for its proprietary
InsurTech insurance platform.
The platform’s API already works with about 70 different
computerized hotel and vacation rental property management systems. The
InsuraGuest InsurTech software delivers specialized guest protection policies,
helping member properties transfer their exposure to liability (http://ibn.fm/pmm8Z).
The coverage, unlike travelers insurance, is a specialized
policy that provides a first line of defense for both the hotel or vacation
rental property and the travelers during their stays, with a potential of up to
40,000 different properties, and is purchased by the hotel property and then
included with each guest’s folio charges for the stay. The policy provides
coverage for theft of personal property, accidental medical expenses, and
accidental death and dismemberment.
“We are excited to be expanding our distribution into
Europe. The European market is more than twice the size of the U.S.,”
InsuraGuest Chairman and CEO Douglas Anderson stated in a news release about
the LOI (http://ibn.fm/tTbaa).
“Last year there were 2.8 billion hotel nights stayed in Europe compared to 1.1
billion in the US. Additionally, $100 billion was spent on vacation rentals.”
A decade after the United States’ travel industry stepped
from the shadows of a significant economic recession and shook hands with
numerous emerging markets around the globe, the travel, vacation rental, and
hotel industries are experiencing historic levels of consumer demand.
Technological innovations like InsuraGuest have fueled the demand, energizing
worldwide wanderlust by enabling ride-hailing services, alt-finance fluidity,
shared selfie “wish you were here” moments and an array of accommodations
options relatively easy to engage from half a world away.
In the United States alone, hotel gross bookings grew from
$116 billion to $185 billion between 2009 and 2017, according to
Deloitte (http://ibn.fm/nirXt).
Last year, the travel and hospitality industries’ revenues were expected to top
$500 billion, according to the company. While the industry insights firm
anticipates the growth trend may slow in the near future, travel market
segments are still expected to remain healthy.
“With distribution in Europe and the US, our demographics
combined will total 3.9 billion nights stayed,” Anderson stated.
Online claim management is easy and timely, and it is
available 24-hour a day through the company’s dashboard.
