Club Med and AXA Partners have signed an agreement to offer an insurance policy designed to cover unforeseen events that travelers may encounter before, during or after their trip, including COVID-19.
The “Serenity Protection Plan” insurance policy includes coverage for contamination by COVID whereby the stay and transportation can be reimbursed by the insurance policy. Policy purchasers can also find coverage for events such as a “missed flight,” baggage insurance and compensation in case of interruption of their stay.
This global offering, with the support of Club Med’s long-standing partners Marsh and E-Thaque, provides a tailored response to Club Med’s international clientele and has been rolled out in more than 20 countries.
“Following a year of restricted travel with many uncertainties related to the pandemic, we are proud of the added security and support offered to Club Med customers through travel insurance programs provided by AXA Partners,” said Blessy George, CEO and Country Manager of AXA Partners US. “The partnership between Club Med and AXA Partners will enable customers to once again enjoy their vacations while feeling secure and at ease knowing they have access to travel assistance and insurance coverage if the need arises.”
“With more than 70 years of experience in the all-inclusive resort industry, it is important we continue to meet traveler expectations as we enter this new era of travel,” said Carolyne Doyon, president and CEO of Club Med North America and the Caribbean.
AXA Partners is an international entity forming part of AXA offering assistance services, travel insurance and credit protection and welfare.
Club Med, founded in 1950 by Gérard Blitz, is an all-inclusive resort facility, offering approximately 70 premium resorts in locations around the world including North and South America, Caribbean, Asia, Africa, Europe and the Mediterranean.
