ALLIANZ GLOBAL ASSISTANCE ANNOUNCES FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND PARTNERSHIP WITH A-LIST TRAVEL BLOGGERS, 'THE TRAVEL TRIFECTA'
Popular Authors Johnny Jet, Lee Abbamonte and Gary Arndt become Allianz Global Assistance Brand Ambassadors to Help Educate Consumers on the Importance of Travel Insurance
Allianz Global Assistance USA, a leading world provider of travel insurance and global travel and medical assistance, has forged an exclusive partnership starting today with the ‘Travel Trifecta’, a collaboration between three of the travel industry’s most well-known influencers.
The newly formed trio of highly accomplished travel bloggers – John DiScala of JohnnyJet.com, Lee Abbamonte of LeeAbbamonte.com and Gary Arndt of Everything-Everywhere.com – will become brand ambassadors for Allianz Global Assistance. Together, the trio reaches an online audience of over 2 million people.
“As well known travel experts, Johnny, Lee and Gary have traversed the world and understand the importance of protecting their travel investment with travel insurance as well as how travel assistance can be a lifesaver when traveling internationally,” said Joe Mason, chief marketing officer at Allianz Global Assistance USA. “We believe their tremendous knowledge and expertise will be a real asset in the effort to educate consumers on the value of travel insurance.”
The Travel Trifecta will author monthly blog posts, host contests, share information and engage with their fans and network on Facebook, Instagram, Google+ and Twitter, discussing travel insurance and its benefits, beyond trip cancellation.* Travelers can join the conversation by using #TravelProtection, #TravelHappy and mentioning @AllianzTravelUS in their posts.
“Having a travel insurance policy is very relevant and important in our business,” said Lee Abbamonte of LeeAbbamonte.com and CEO of the Travel Trifecta. “John, Gary and I all have had personal experiences where having a travel insurance policy has saved us; the bottom line is that travel insurance provides peace of mind when traveling and we believe it is a necessity when traveling in a constantly changing world.”
With offices in 34 countries, Allianz Global Assistance USA insures 16 million customers annually, providing travel insurance coverage for pre-paid, non-refundable trip expenses, reimbursements for covered trip cancellations and unexpected travel delay expenses, as well as emergency medical and dental treatment, emergency medical transportation, baggage delay, baggage loss and more.†
