International SOS, the world's leading medical and security risk services company, announced a strategic partnership with Booking.com for Business to provide small organizations with access to trusted global medical and security protection services.
This collaboration offers a comprehensive travel risk management solution to small and medium businesses with less than 250 employees that are headquartered in the United States. The new offering will initially be exclusively featured on the Booking.com for Business platform, providing travelers with peace of mind wherever their work takes them.
The partnership combines International SOS' industry-leading medical and security assistance services with Zurich's robust insurance coverage, which offers an all-encompassing annual plan designed to protect and insure team members traveling on business abroad.
The solution provides comprehensive 24/7 global medical and security assistance, including emergency transfer, evacuation and repatriation support as well as medical coverage out of your home country. This protection extends to both catastrophic and minor accidents and illnesses while traveling. Additionally, you will have access to International SOS's best-in-class mobile app, ensuring that help is always at your fingertips.
"We are thrilled to join forces with Booking.com for Business to extend our world-class travel risk management services to small organizations,” said Domenic Bell, Chief Channel Officer of International SOS. “This collaboration allows us to address a critical need for this segment of the market, ensuring that companies of all sizes can provide their employees with the highest level of protection and support while traveling for business. By combining the International SOS and Zurich’s expertise with the reach of Booking.com for Business, we're making it easier than ever to prioritize the safety and well-being of their global travelers."
Joshua Wood, Director of Booking.com for Business, added: “We are excited to have International SOS join our growing marketplace. Now, the hundreds of thousands of companies using Booking.com for Business can ensure that their travelers are equipped with comprehensive safety and security protection, enabling them to be better prepared and respond effectively in a constantly changing world. This partnership empowers businesses to prioritize the well-being of their employees by providing them with the resources and support they need while traveling."
Bolstered by both companies' existing partnerships with Traxo, the leading provider of corporate travel data capture and portability, joint-clients can also gain complete visibility into business travel bookings via the Traxo feature within the Booking.com for Business platform - an essential tool for comprehensive duty of care.
