Johannesburg South Africa - Allianz Assistance, a leading provider of travel insurance solutions worldwide, announced today new policy updates designed to address the constantly shifting global economic and geopolitical landscape. With travelers facing growing uncertainty from events like supply chain disruptions, inflation, conflict, and more, Allianz is committed to equipping customers with protection relevant for today’s environment.

“Travel always carries some inherent risk, but recent world events have introduced new variables that can impact travelers in unexpected ways,” said Anja Käfer, CEO of Allianz Partners. “Our latest policy updates account for these rapidly changing dynamics so customers have confidence their investment in a trip is safeguarded.”

Key policy additions center around two core areas - financial security and personal safety. New financial insolvency protections shield travelers’ money in case of issues like an airline bankruptcy. Enhanced benefits around emergency medical transport, terrorism threats, and evacuation support strengthen response capabilities related to safety risks in turbulent destination markets.

“Allianz Assistance has decades of experience providing assistance around the globe, so we have extensive insight into risks facing modern travelers and how best to mitigate them,” Käfer added. “Customers can trust we’ll continue adapting our products as conditions evolve so they always have the appropriate backup plan.”

With the new policy provisions, Allianz Assistance offers travelers robust, relevant protection as the world enters a new period of elevated unpredictability and instability. By keeping pace with global shifts, Allianz sustains its long-running mission to give customers peace of mind.
