All the products were designed based on feedback given by the travel industry which they received from their travellers.
Commenting on Tune Protect’s in-house technology capability, Arijit Munshi, General Manager, Tune Protect EMEIA said, “We have embarked upon a number of online projects across the region with our partners to service their travellers. With our local insurance partner in India, we are looking at growing our product portfolio to cater to both domestic and international travellers. A key highlight of 2017 is when we were awarded ‘Best Travel Insurance Facilitator’ at the first Arabian Travel Awards, held in Dubai.”
As a facilitator, Tune Protect’s strategy has been to apprise the travel industry of the importance of educating travellers about the importance of travel protection. “The strategy has been to customise the products to meet different types of travellers of today–be it corporate travel, adventure seekers, golf lovers or ski enthusiasts–with a host of innovative smart travel protection products, for the traveller to understand the need of value of protection before, during and after his travel,” Munshi adds.
Another key role played by Tune Protect as facilitator is to remain an innovator within the travel protection segment. “Catering to both global and regional travelers, bringing in customised bespoke products based on the strong foundation of partnership with Tune Protect Re and our local insurance partners across the region. As a facilitator, we will continue to bring to the region innovative smart products from across the globe as well as customise it for the region, to offer a better peace of mind to the travellers from the region or even coming into the region,” Munshi said.
