Richmond, Virginia, December 17, 2024 – Leading travel insurance and assistance company Allianz Parnters USA was awarded Best Insurance Provider and Best Insurance Sales & Service honors during Travel Weekly’s 22nd Annual Readers’ Choice Awards held at the American Museum of Natural History on December 11, 2024. Considered the most influential business publication in the travel trade industry, Travel Weekly honors the best in travel each year as voted on by suppliers in its Readers’ Choice Awards. The 2024 awards program highlighted winners in 91 categories ranging from hotels and destinations to airlines and cruise lines.

“It is our great honor to be recognized by our peers and partners at the Travel Weekly Readers' Choice Awards, especially as the Best Insurance Provider for the ninth consecutive year,” said Richard Aquino, vice president and head of sales at Allianz Partners USA. “We have made significant service and product upgrades to support changes within the travel space, and our long-standing commitment to deliver industry-leading performance is reflected with this accolade.”

The Travel Insurance category was added to the Readers’ Choice Awards program in 2016. This year, the company was selected over five other finalists in the Travel Insurance category by a majority vote of travel professionals and readers of Travel Weekly.

These widely recognized, coveted awards are presented annually to the industry suppliers who led the way in product and service during the past year. The open ballot phase of the voting was conducted during the summer when Travel Weekly readers were invited to write in the names of any company they believe best exemplifies a particular category. The leading vote recipients were identified as finalists, and a second round of voting to determine the winners was held from September through November of this year.
