On November 7, leading figures from the travel industry—including suppliers, advisors and members of the media—gathered at the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention Center to honor this year’s standout companies at the 10th annual Travvy Awards Gala. Hosted by TravelPulse and AGENTatHOME, the Travvy Awards celebrate excellence across a wide range of travel sectors, with winners chosen by travel advisors who intimately understand and routinely work with these products.
This year, awards were given in over 200 sub-categories spanning every facet of the travel industry, including airlines, destinations, hotels, resorts, cruise lines, tour operators, and car rental companies. Notably, the event also included a category for top providers of travel insurance, a crucial service that has grown in importance since the COVID-19 pandemic brought the need for flexible and secure travel arrangements into sharp perspective.
For the ninth year running, the prestigious Gold Travvy award went to Allianz Partners in both of the insurance-related categories: Overall Best Travel Insurance Provider and Best Travel Insurance Company for Customer Service.
Travel advisors favor Allianz because of its comprehensive coverage options and customizable policies, as well as its superior degree of customer support, with help available 24/7 to both advisors and their clientele. So vast in their customer service team that multilingual offices are present in 35 different countries, reachable at any hour of the day or night.
Advisors and travelers enjoy peace of mind in knowing that they’ll always have immediate assistance at the ready, even when they’re abroad. Specialists can assist customers with all kinds of situations, including medical emergencies, flight cancellations, trip interruption, baggage or passport loss, and more. And, in the post-pandemic era, Allianz has adapted its offerings to meet new concerns, including options to cover trip cancellations and interruptions due to illness.

The company is lauded for its comprehensive coverage options, flexibility and responsive support services, offering a variety of plans that can be tailored to cover trip cancellations, medical emergencies and travel delays, allowing advisors to meet diverse
