DC Media Group in partnership with Institute of Financial Studies organizes on the date 29.11.2022, time interval 11:00 - 14:00 the ONLINE debate: “Insurance, the safety belt in transportation”.
Thousands of passengers were affected by the crisis in air transportation, remaining stranded on airports after an operator suspended its flights, and the situation can anytime repeat in the road or naval domain. Tourism agencies suffer significant damages in such cases and these must also take over the costs of accommodation if hoteliers go bankrupt or suspend their activity. Companies conclude policies to insure their risk, and some costs are transferred to clients.
Tourism is a strategic domain for Romania, and tour-operators have an important role in the development of the market, creation of jobs, and attraction of financial resources, and the decapitalization of these SMEs has negative effects in the long term.
EVENT THEME
Authorities are called to intervene and can do so in two ways: either through direct intervention in the crisis, or through regulation. Which is the saving solution?
Regulation: solution for increasing safety and reducing costs?
Some tourism companies request that all-risk insurance for the interruption or suspension of flights become mandatory for passengers, or that transport companies be required to conclude policies, on the model of the RCA policy. How will representatives from the industry act?
What other legislative regulations are needed to avoid major crises in the transportation domain?
