TRIED SEARCHING FOR AN ALL INCLUSIVE HOLIDAY?

Leave a comment

The process of searching for an all inclusive holiday is not straight forward. Performing a search on one of the major tour operators’ websites will return results that are infiltrated by B&B and half board options, and many of the flights and hotels options are not shown at all. There isn’t a website in the UK that is dedicated to searching for every possible all inclusive holiday until now.

Two brothers have launched a unique travel business designed to make the process of booking an all inclusive holiday as streamlined as possible.

Tom and Peter Warsop have developed Alihoco, the UK’s first one-stop-shop designed to help holidaymakers source the best priced, all inclusive holidays without the red tape and hidden costs.

Peter Warsop said: “Our clever system not only searches for every all inclusive package holiday, but also automatically searches every budget airline and hotel directly, so that we can give our customers the widest choice of all inclusive holiday packages on the market at the best possible price. Added to that, because we understand that peace of mind is equally as important as price, every single holiday is ATOL protected.”

Tom Warsop said: “Searching for a holiday always starts off as a fun exercise, but after an hour or two on the internet what starts out as an exciting and enjoyable activity can quickly become an onerous and frustrating task. I have had the experience of finding what appeared to be the perfect holiday package only to discover that that price advertised does not exist or that there are hidden costs that increase the price dramatically. Because of this our new website has a ‘No Hidden Extras’ policy which means that the price you see is the price you pay.

“By streamlining the process of searching for every all inclusive holiday our customers not only save time, find a holiday that perfectly matches what they are looking for, but also save money. On average one of our dynamically created packages is more than £100 cheaper per person than the equivalent package holiday.

“Alihoco customers who don’t want to book online can use our UK-based call centre or even pop into our offices,” he added.

For further information about Alihoco’s all inclusive holidays log on to http://www.allinclusive.co.uk or contact the company’s UK-based call centre on 0800 004 2525 .

NRIOL.NET Updates Visitors Insurance Comparison Engine

Leave a comment

NRIOL.NET, a leading visitors insurance website of International Services, Inc., has upgraded its insurance comparison shopping solution making it faster and easier to procure medical insurance for visitors & immigrants.

The latest release of the software on its website includes additions of plans to the portfolio, streamlining the comparison shopping process and improved presentation of plan information. These changes are reflected in the international student health insurance & visitor health insurance comparison engines.

“There have been numerous changes in plan benefits, exclusions and rates for 2011 and our timely new release is proof of our commitment to our clients and our underwriters,”said Chiranth Nataraj, President & CEO of International Services, Inc.

Keeping with the general trend in the insurance industry, the visitor travel insurance premiums for 2011 have increased; and there has been a significant increase in premiums in the senior age bracket of 70 years and above. The good news is that a few plans are still available for travelers with well controlled stable medical conditions; they can obtain coverage for sudden and acute onset of pre-existing conditions.

It is a well known fact that Senior US citizens are not covered by Medicare during their travel overseas (page 6 of the US Passport states that Medicare/Medicaid does not cover for healthcare costs outside the U.S.). Prudent travel cancellation insurance shoppers can compare plans on NRIOL.NET and obtain the right level of overseas medical coverage and protection for their non-refundable trip costs.

Online enrollment and instant insurance ID card fulfillment have been very popular onhttp://www.nriol.net; a vast majority of the company’s clients embrace the secure online purchase and fulfillment mode. Within a few minutes of the purchase the insurance ID card and certificate are available for online download.

“Sports teams that spend seasons abroad are at an increased risk of injuries and contracting diseases. Medical coverage abroad is necessary for sports teams. If your team doesn’t offer international medical insurance, you should consider getting it on your own; or asking the team to provide it. Group Enrollment for teams is so affordable that there is no reason to overlook protection,” says Pallavi Sadekar at International Services, Inc.

According to Chiranth Nataraj, CEO of International Services, Inc.: “Coverage shouldn’t be limited to where you live; it shouldn’t have boundaries at all.”
