Recently, PICC teamed up with the renowned independent travel service platform Mafengwo to jointly create a "Recruit Travel Experience Officers" campaign. By integrating efforts across different sectors, they aim to deliver a better travel experience and have prepared an exclusive travel fund of 4,999 yuan for participants to help fulfill their little wishes.
PICC Collaborates with Mafengwo to Recruit Travel Experience Officers
It is understood that the Travel Experience Officer recruitment campaign runs from April 6, 2017 to April 30, 2017. Users can purchase any one of the insurance products — including personal account security insurance, transportation accident insurance, domestic travel insurance, domestic self-drive travel insurance, and global travel insurance — through channels such as the PICC official website, APP, WAP, WeChat, and Weidian, to qualify for a chance to become PICC’s Chief Travel Experience Officer and win the 4,999 yuan travel fund.
In addition, users who successfully purchase insurance can also receive a free 300 yuan travel voucher to boost and ease their travel budget, which can cover a night in an economy hotel or allow for an indulgent upgrade to a luxury suite.
A relevant person in charge from PICC Property and Casualty’s E-commerce Center stated that this cross-sector collaboration will make full use of both parties’ strengths to provide users with a more perfect and safer travel experience. We also hope to raise public awareness of travel safety issues through more "travel + insurance" cross-sector collaborations, enhance users' safety consciousness and risk resilience during their travels, and enable safe trips.
Travel Safety Risks Should Not Be Ignored; Comprehensive Coverage Brings Greater Peace of Mind
In recent years, incidents involving tourists suffering accidents during travel have occurred frequently around the world. According to data from the "2016 Travel Agency Industry Risk Analysis Report," travel risk events in 2016 were divided into two categories: personal injury risks and non-personal injury risks. In terms of types of risk events, accidental injuries accounted for the highest proportion, making up 43.79% of the total cases; followed by journey delays/cancellations, sudden illnesses, and property losses.
In terms of personal safety, accidental injury risks have always been the primary issue among travel-related risks, including accidental injuries, medical expenses, and more. Insurance experts point out that travelers can freely choose travel insurance, accident insurance, self-drive travel insurance, or transportation accident insurance products based on their itinerary and mode of transport to transfer risks and reduce their own financial burden.
Regarding property safety, travel mainly involves luggage security and personal account funds security. Luggage prepared before departure and souvenirs purchased during the trip may be lost due to forgetfulness, picking up the wrong item, or leaving something behind amid a hectic schedule, and compensation can be obtained through regular luggage insurance. During travel spending, credit cards, bank cards, mobile payments, and more also face the risk of being fraudulently used, but these can be protected under PICC’s Personal Account Funds Security Insurance, ensuring worry-free swiping while traveling happily.
Traveling is meant to relieve stress and enrich life experiences, leaving your footprints in every corner of the world — but everything should be built on the premise of safety. As the weather warms up and holidays such as May Day and Dragon Boat Festival approach, travel activities gradually increase, and so do associated risks. Here we remind consumers to carefully prepare before travel and to purchase appropriate travel-related insurance to ensure greater protection during your trip.
