MAUI, Hawaii- As part of Travel Agent's recently-concluded coverage of Classic Vacations' STAR Performers event at the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, we got the skinny on the popular tour operator's simplified travel protection plans.
Here's what you need to know to make some money on them.
Classic's Travel Smart Plan (TSP)
Classic recently simplified its travel protection plans, focusing on the core "Classic" TSP and the more robust "Prestige" TSP.
Both programs have coverage for travelers' arrangements, belongings and health, as well as non-insurance services such as "One Call," and "Global XPI." The programs also include competitive commission levels and commission protection for travel advisors. Perhaps the most convenient feature for agents is the "Cancel For Any Reason" benefits on the entire vacation.
Prestige Plus Travel Smart Plan (TSP)
Designed to give advisors an insurance product they can offer their clients to cover their entire vacation, the "Prestige Plus" TSP offers the same coverage as Classic's "Prestige" plan, plus coverage for non-Classic components (other arrangements made through third-party suppliers, such as cruise lines). It includes the commission protection and "Cancel For Any Reason" benefits.
