“We are excited to launch this new expanded online experience for global travelers, as they start to explore the world again,” said WorldTrips CEO Mark Carney. “For over 22 years, we've been on a mission to make unexpected travel emergencies less stressful for international travelers. We recognize that today’s global traveler needs much more than just travel protection—they need travel information and assistance as well.
