Lawmakers are enacting laws to safeguard consumers worldwide, and liabilities against service providers are rising. The tourism sector is no exception, and tour operators face an increasing number of possible domestic and international service claims.
When it comes to package travel and travel arrangements, European tour operators adhere to the European Package Travel Directive, 2018, and other legislative directives that safeguard travellers’ rights. Refunds, liability, cancellation, and repatriation are some of these rights.
The burden of compliance for tour operators worldwide has increased as a result of these rules. Additionally, in order to prevent major company disruption and possible financial losses, tour operators must complete protection to manage defence expenses and settlements due to today’s customer-friendly verdicts and increasingly demanding customers.
In order to safeguard Indian tour operators, SafeTree and the Indian Association of Tour Operators have created a comprehensive liability insurance plan that offers IATO members the best possible protection at a fair price. The top private general insurance provider in India has underwritten this plan.
“This product proposition has been developed by a specialist team from the insurance and travel industry,” stated Mr Rajiv Mehra, President of the Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO), at the proposal’s unveiling. Our members have requested this kind of security, and we appreciate SafeTree for creating a complete insurance plan as the Indian tourism sector really needs it.
The purpose of the Tour Operator’s Liability Insurance Plan is to shield tour operators from monetary losses brought on by lawsuits brought against them for property damage, adventurous activities, bodily injury, or other liabilities deriving from their business. This kind of insurance usually covers a variety of risks related to planning and running tours, including transportation-related mishaps, injuries or property damage sustained during tour-related activities, and possible legal costs spent in the event of a claim.
The CEO of SafeTree, Mr. Vikas Anand, emphasised that the company has designed this offering to offer complete security regardless of the size and scope of the business since we recognise the special requirements of Indian tour operators, who operate in a complicated and dynamic market.
The following are covered by a tour operator’s liability insurance plan:
1. Mistakes and Exclusions: Protects the tour operator from claims of professional service negligence that could cause harm or loss to the customer.
2. General Liability: Provides protection from lawsuits or claims for property or bodily harm.
3. The rental car’s non-owner liability: Protection against claims of property damage or bodily injury resulting from surface transport movements within or between states.
4. Legal Defence: The cost of employing solicitors.
5. Medical emergencies: Pays for the client’s immediate medical first aid costs.
6. Boat and animal rides are included.
7. Adventure Activities: Motorcycling, hiking, trekking, river rafting, motorcycling, and jungle safari.
According to Mr. Bawa Mohit Singh, Head of Marketing & Corporate Communications, our proposal meets the demands of tour operators, who must have liability insurance coverage in place due to the ever-changing regulatory landscape. To handle all servicing and claims needs, we have a skilled staff.
