These new features are part of TTC’s commitment to provide clients with peace of mind, knowing they will be protected for unforeseen medical emergencies, including coverage for COVID-19 and in addition to the unique new Wellbeing Director position already announced.  These plans are available for new bookings made on or after Dec. 15, for travel starting on April 1, 2021.

“At TTC our priority is to provide our guests with reassuring peace of mind when booking and traveling on any of our brands, and this includes an improved Travel Protection Plan with COVID-19 coverage,” said Brett Tollman, Chief Executive of The Travel Corporation. “This plan is an important addition to our booking flexibility, reduced deposit requirements, new Well-being Director position and industry-leading wellbeing protocols which are all designed to instill confidence to travel with our brands in 2021.”  

To better tailor the insurance to a client’s needs and risk tolerance, TTC is offering two travel protection plans -- a basic and an upgraded plan, both with COVID-19 coverage. These plans offer the opportunity to Cancel for Any Reason.  The basic plan provides 100% of the non-refundable trip costs in Future Travel Credits. The upgraded plan provides 60% of the non-refundable trip costs in cash and another 20% in future travel credits.  

Under both plans, COVID-19 will be considered a covered reason if a client is either diagnosed with COVID-19 or, at the direction of a government official or medical expert, is required to quarantine.
