Parcel2Go Says Firms Should Make The Most Of Growing Online Spend

Leave a comment

With people in the UK spending more money online than ever before, companies need to make sure that they have a suitable digital presence to be able to market their goods and services effectively, according to Britain’s largest online parcel delivery service.

Parcel2Go helps online companies of all shapes and sizes to deliver customers’ orders to addresses across the UK, and around the world, every day. And according to research carried out by payment services firm WorldPay, the average British consumer now spends a quarter of their disposable income with online retailers.

Parcel2Go has seen the effects that increasing consumer confidence and the ease with which people can now buy online have had on parcel delivery volumes. The company’s marketing director Richard Mercer said firms must ensure they have suitable parcel delivery systems set up in order to capitalise on the increase in online spend.

He said: “Having a website that is easy to find and intuitive to use is vital if businesses want to draw in customers in the first place. Having a smooth and simple delivery process for when an order has been placed is then vital if they want to keep those customers.

“It has never been more important to have a fast and efficient domestic and international parcel delivery offer. WorldPay’s research is evidence of how much consumers have come to rely on the internet when it comes to purchasing goods and services, and Parcel2Go’s experience is that customers now expect to receive their goods quickly and in perfect condition.

“Hiring the services of a professional world courier to handle deliveries is now critical.”

Parcel2Go assists businesses in organising deliveries to countries across the world, from Spain to Singapore, with the help of some of the industry’s leading courier companies, including City Link, Parcelforce, FedEx and UPS.

TripInsurance.com Adds Non-Medical Emergency Evacuation Coverage That Can Help Save Your Life When Disaster Strikes

Leave a comment

Leading Online Travel Insurance Provider Now Offers Coverage to Get You Home Safely In the Event of Natural Disaster, Revolution, or Other Non-Medical Emergency.

LOS GATOS, Calif. (May 8, 2012) — TripInsurance.com, the most trusted online resource to help travelers find the trip coverage they need, today announced that it has added non-medical emergency evacuation coverage as part of its extensive online portfolio of travel coverage. These policies, underwritten by BCS Insurance Company and US Fire Insurance Company, will pay up to $25,000 to evacuate travelers to safety in the event of a natural or man-made disaster or due to covered political issues.

Unlike medical emergency evacuation coverage, these policies are designed to provide protection in case of unforeseen disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, the nuclear emergency in Japan, or the political crisis in Cairo. The policies cover all reasonable expenses to remove you to the nearest place of safety, or to your home. Travelers can call On Call International LLC toll free, and they will arrange for the most appropriate, economical, and safest means available for evacuation. Evacuation coverage is only provided for arrangements made by On Call International.

“When travelling, even to traditionally safe locations in the world, disaster can strike without notice. One minute you are touring the great pyramids, and the next minute your hotel is in the midst of political unrest. You can never predict when an earthquake, flood, or hurricane will affect your trip,” said Dan Skilken, founder and CEO of TripInsurance.com. “That’s why we offer this invaluable Non-Medical Emergency Evacuation Benefit. You can now travel with the peace of mind knowing that we can help get you to safety.”

Non-Medical Emergency Evacuation Benefit is designed to protect travelers if, during a trip, the local authorities or the U.S. State Department issues a warning to leave due to: a natural disaster, civil, military, or political unrest, or you are being expelled as a persona non-grata from the country you are visiting. Evacuation must take place within 10 days of any covered event. If Non-Medical Emergency Evacuation is required, these policies do not cover the loss of the balance of your travel expenses for the interrupted trip. The provisions are designed to help make arrangements to evacuate the area, and cover the expense of getting you to safety.

All the policies offered on TripInsurance.com are exclusively designed for our clients and are not offered by travel agents or other online sources. The plans offer similar or better coverage levels than other comparable policies, at an extraordinary value because consumers buy directly from the leading travel insurance companies, at a savings of 40% or more.

To help keep customers safe and avoid potential problems, TripInsurance.com provides complementary emailed e-travel alerts with up-to-date news on any potential problems that could affect their vacation. Customers can also access a complete listing of travel alerts from the National Hurricane Forecast, U.S. State Department Warnings, British Government Warnings, and health alerts from the Center for Disease Control and World Health Organization at: http://www.tripinsurance.com/tips/travel-alerts.

PriceTravel Becomes First Travel Agency in Latin America to Offer Cruise Travel Online Directly from its E-Commerce Site

Leave a comment

PriceTravel establishes itself as a pioneer in the cruise travel industry, reinforcing the company’s leadership and innovation within the tourism industry.

MEXICO, D.F., (May 8, 2012) — PriceTravel, Mexico’s most innovative online and wholesale travel agency, today becomes the first agency in Latin America to offer cruise travel directly through its website and more than 100 retail travel kiosks located in major shopping centers and department stores throughout Mexico. The addition of cruise travel is part of PriceTravel’s continued growth plans and conquest of the Latin American market, including the company’s recent entry into Colombia.

Initially, PriceTravel established an alliance with Royal Caribbean International, who recently announced plans to expand in Mexico’s cruise market. As a result of this partnership, PriceTravel has become the only online travel agency in Latinamerica that allows customers to book all routes offered by Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Cruises Club cruise lines directly from its website. PriceTravel plans to offer all major cruise lines, as well as cruise packages including the hotel + flight portion of the trip by the end of 2012.

“Our venture into selling cruise travel is the result of a long evaluation and preparation process. We work closely with cruise lines and understand that although currently viewed as a premium product in Mexico, there are many opportunities for growth in the market’s cruise segment. We are confident that we have the formula to reposition the product and reach a wider range of customers who perhaps previously viewed cruise travel as an unaffordable luxury. Providing detailed descriptions and content, and easing the purchasing and payment process is essential to change our customers’ and the travel industry’s current perception,” said Oliver Reinhart, CEO of PriceTravel.

One of the many advantages for PriceTravel customers in Mexico is that the cruise offerings are available through an innovative reservation system developed especially by PriceTravel, which allows customers to compare cruise line offers, routes and prices; book up to four cabins per transaction; and have access to information and images with the ease that characterizes PriceTravel, all in real time.

“There are many advantages of booking cruise travel through PriceTravel. Aside from ease of use, having access to the personal service of PriceTravel’s 500 travel professionals is especially important for those who have never traveled by cruise. The wide variety of payment options we have for all of our products – including cash; debit and credit cards with up to 12 interest-free months; and layaway – make a difference for our customers,” added Diego Del Vecchio, Marketing Director of PriceTravel.

“Through this partnership, both Royal Caribbean and PriceTravel will offer Mexican travelers a quick and easy option to purchase cruise travel online,” added Jose Ceciliano, Director of Sales for Royal Caribbean Mexico. “Royal Caribbean guarantees PriceTravel customers the best vacation aboard the spectacular ships of Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises. This partnership will provide our mutual customers with a comprehensive service, featuring the professionalism and quality that both companies are known for.”
