Allianz Partners Sweeps Both Travel Insurance Categories at the TravelAge West “Wave” Awards

Richmond, Virginia, June 20, 2024 – Travel insurance and assistance company Allianz Partners USA took home wins in both travel insurance categories at the 2024 TravelAge West WAVE (Western Advisors’ Votes of Excellence) Awards, including Travel Insurance Company Providing the Best Travel Advisor Support and Travel Insurance Company Providing the Highest Client Satisfaction. This is the eighth consecutive year that Allianz Partners has been named a top travel insurance provider in the prestigious WAVE Awards.

Now in its 19th year, the TravelAge West’s WAVE Awards gave 6,400 travel advisors and readers of TravelAge West the chance to vote on the best-of-the-best from a list of Editor’s Picks recipients chosen by Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Ken Shapiro and the entire editorial team of TravelAge West. Review methods included product analysis, on-site visits and a survey of a select group of travel advisors and industry experts.

“By any measure, travel is booming,” said Shapiro. “The WAVE Awards give travel advisors the opportunity to recognize the great travel companies that go above and beyond to make sure their customers have an amazing experience as they see the world. It’s this partnership — between advisors and suppliers — that makes bucket-list travel experiences possible for so many.”

During a black-tie dinner at The Ritz-Carlton, Marina Del Rey on June 13, winners were honored for their achievements and TravelAge West will feature a special WAVE Awards section in the July 15 issue, highlighting award winners.

“We are thrilled to continue our winning streak at the TravelAge West WAVE Awards and are incredibly thankful to everyone who helped us achieve this milestone,” said Richard Aquino, Vice President, Head of Sales at Allianz Partners USA. “It is so meaningful to us to once again be recognized in both client satisfaction and travel advisor support, and it’s a true testament to how deeply we care about serving the needs of our traveling customers.”
