As travel advisors, one of the most important services we offer our clients is the peace of mind that comes from knowing they have travel protection during their trips. We all know that things can go wrong, from missed connections and cancellations to unforeseen medical emergencies, and when these situations arise, travel insurance can be the difference between a stressful experience and a smooth recovery. That’s why third-party travel insurance is not just an add-on, but an essential element of every travel package we create for our clients.
At Oasis Travel Network, we truly value our Chairman’s Club Preferred Insurance Suppliers—our hand-picked partners who offer reliable, comprehensive coverage. By working with these top-tier providers, we ensure our clients receive the best possible protection for their trips. This not only protects the clients but also gives you, as an advisor, the confidence and trust that you’re recommending the right products for their needs.
We’ve seen firsthand the benefits of these partnerships, and Andria Fredrickson, our VP of Insurance Operations, has been a key driver in making sure we stay on top of the latest trends and offer the most relevant, tailored options. Since Andria stepped into this pivotal role, she has been dedicated to supporting our advisors and their efforts to grow their insurance sales. Her strategic guidance and deep knowledge of the industry have been invaluable in helping our agents understand the ins and outs of travel insurance, empowering you to make informed recommendations that truly serve your clients.
Andria’s contributions have also been crucial in our expanding insurance operations, and this growth translates directly to more revenue opportunities for you and your business. Her leadership is helping shape a future where we can offer even more diverse, flexible, and client-centric insurance solutions.
It’s important to note that Lee Smolinski (CEO) recently touched on the importance of a conservative approach when recommending travel insurance in his article on Travel Research Online (read it here: https://www.travelresearchonline.com/blog/index.php/2025/02/at-oasis-travel-network-smolinski-advises-taking-a-conservative-approach/). Lee rightly emphasized that the unpredictable nature of the world means we cannot afford to take unnecessary risks. As advisors, it’s our job to help our clients prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. A conservative approach to recommending travel insurance ensures that our clients are covered in all the right ways, from medical expenses to trip interruptions, and even emergency evacuations.
For our clients, the value of travel insurance cannot be overstated. They trust us to protect them, not only in the planning stages but throughout their entire travel journey. By offering insurance, we are demonstrating our commitment to their safety and peace of mind. As you continue to grow your business and your client base, remember that travel insurance isn’t just a sale—it’s an investment in your client’s well-being.
In a world where travel can be unpredictable, having the right coverage in place is non-negotiable. Thanks to the efforts of Andria and our strong partnerships with insurance suppliers, you have the tools and resources to confidently offer the best protection for your clients. Keep in mind Lee Smolinski’s advice and take that conservative approach—ensuring that your clients are always prepared for the unexpected.
