WorldTrips Wins Gold 2024 Stevie® Award

Recognized for Innovative Trip Cancellation Group Quoting Tool

CARMEL, Ind., April 18, 2024  -- WorldTrips, a part of the Tokio Marine HCC group of companies, has won a Gold award in the Sales Distinction of the Year — Computer Software category in the 18th Annual Stevie® Awards for Sales & Customer Service.

The awards are presented by the Stevie Awards, which organizes several of the world's leading business awards shows including the prestigious American Business Awards® and International Business Awards®.

WorldTrips was recognized for its recently developed Trip Cancellation Group Quoting Tool designed to support "Group Insurance" plans effectively. This tool offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing WorldTrips-certified Travel Advisors to add travelers to the group until the aggregate trip cost reaches $500,000, and to modify individual trip details up until the day before departure. The inclusion of a pre-existing medical condition waiver and bulk upload features are indicative of the tool's comprehensive and user-friendly design.

Since launching Trip Cancellation products in the U.S. market in 2021, WorldTrips has utilized advanced technology to streamline the sales process, enhancing service delivery to Travel Advisors. The company has now expanded its market presence through innovations such as customized quoting solutions and agent self-service tools, which are unparalleled in the industry.

Noteworthy features of the new tool include:

  • A "Get Group Quote" button for easy initiation of group quotes.
  • Direct quote delivery to customers for seamless group enrollment.
  • Individual payment options, with WorldTrips now absorbing credit card fees on behalf of travel advisors.

The tool also facilitates automatic reissuance of policy documents whenever changes occur, ensuring that each traveler receives their personalized insurance document according to their state of residence. This reduces the administrative burden on travel advisors and group travel organizers.

With these enhancements, WorldTrips is setting a new benchmark for flexibility and convenience in the group travel insurance market, demonstrating its commitment to excellence and innovation. These initiatives not only enhance the user experience but also position WorldTrips as a leader in the Group insurance sector.

"Such tools not only benefit the workflow of the agents but also enhance the overall customer experience, making group insurance transactions smoother and more user-friendly," says WorldTrips President and CEO Mark Carney. "WorldTrips is beyond thrilled to be recognized with this prestigious customer service award. It is a testament to our team's unwavering dedication and hard work in ensuring that every client's experience is nothing short of exceptional."

The island's vibrant café culture, epitomized by the likes of Crate Café in Canggu, offers the perfect blend of strong Wi-Fi and stronger coffee. After a productive day, unwind with a sunset that sets the sky ablaze at Tanah Lot Temple, or delve into the local art scene at Neka Art Museum. Just remember, if you're trying to make a Skype call from the beach, beware of the monkeys – they're known to be the unofficial 'IT experts' who can’t wait to get their hands on your gadgets! Chiang Mai, Thailand Chiang Mai is a haven for digital nomads, with its low cost of living and laid-back lifestyle. The city is dotted with co-working spaces like Punspace that offer a quiet refuge for you to meet those tight deadlines. For a caffeine fix, the Ristr8to Coffee is legendary among locals and expats alike. Cultural immersion is just a temple visit away, with over 300 wats (temples) to explore. And if you're looking for a conversation starter, just mention the local delicacy, khao soi – it's a sure-fire way to make friends or at least get some dinner recommendations. Lisbon, Portugal Lisbon's historic charm is matched by its modern amenities, making it a hotspot for digital nomads. The city's stunning viewpoints, like Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, offer a panoramic office backdrop.

The pastel de nata is not just a custard tart, it's a way of life here – and a sweet treat to power you through your inbox. Berlin, Germany Berlin is the go-to for nomads with a penchant for history, art, and techno. The city's co-working spaces, such as Betahaus, are as numerous as its historical landmarks. For a taste of the local art scene, the East Side Gallery showcases the creative pulse of the city. And when it comes to dining, Markthalle Neun is a foodie's dream, offering everything from German classics to international cuisine. Just don't be surprised if your 'brief' coffee break turns into a history lesson – every corner in Berlin has a story. Buenos Aires, Argentina The Paris of South America, Buenos Aires, is a melting pot of culture and cuisine. The city's co-working scene is thriving, with spaces like La Maquinita Co offering a productive environment. For the best view of the night sky, head to Planetario Galileo Galilei and ponder the cosmos. The city's steak is as legendary as its tango, so be sure to indulge in both at a local parrilla. Each of these destinations offers a unique experience for the digital nomad. From the serene beaches of Bali to the bustling streets of Berlin, there's a world out there waiting to be your office. Just remember, while you're busy posting that envy-inducing 'office for the day' photo, spare a thought for those stuck in a cubicle – they're living vicariously through you!
