When thousands of the country's most influential corporate travel managers and travel service providers gathered in San Diego at the National Business Travel Association International Convention and Exposition in September, Travel Guard was there.

A leading name in the leisure travel market for over 25 years, Travel Guard is now becoming a presence in the business travel sector. Wherever Travel Guard appeared at the event, the Business Travel Guard plan, Travel Guard's premier travel insurance and assistance package for the needs of corporate travel managers, took center stage.

Business Travel Guard is designed to help employers and their traveling employees deal with travel uncertainty, in an increasingly globalized marketplace. Corporate travel and risk managers can use Business Travel Guard to provide employees access to premier global security resources to help mitigate the loss of commercially sensitive data and equipment.

The plan was built to help address the insurance coverage concerns of traveling employees and is based on the number of employees traveling, and the destinations to which they travel. It also offers 24/7 global travel and personal assistance services that may help mitigate a lot of the stress and frustration that comes with the territory for company road warriors.

"Prudent employers realize they need to take the proper precautions for their employees, not only when they are in the office, but also when they are traveling on business," said Susan Weiss, Corporate Sales Business Development Manager at Travel Guard. "Our Business Travel Guard plan is designed to help meet the travel needs of business travelers and includes enhanced travel risk management tools for companies with traveling employees. The plan is also a resource for employers to help with the potential legal and financial consequences that may be associated with employees traveling to remote or unfamiliar locales."

Travel Guard also offers an annual medical evacuation plan for global travelers called MedEvac™, which provides worldwide medical evacuation to the insured's hospital of choice or to their home. Unlike other evacuation-only plans, Travel Guard's MedEvac plan includes coverage for emergency medical expenses and offers 24/7 access to a wide range of travel assistance services including personal security assistance, identity theft assistance* and business/concierge services.

Travel Guard will also work directly with business owners to provide customized travel coverage and assistance services.

To learn more about Business Travel Guard or MedEvac, please contact your Travel Guard sales representative.
