71%: will would make environmentally friendly choices this year
57% : “often” make eco-friendly travel decisions, such as their choice of hotel, transportation, or food source
41% “mostly” believe hotel claims to be eco-friendly, 32 % “rarely” do and 20 % “don’t know”.
21% would be “green believers” if they were able to see a hotel’s environmentally-friendly certification
61% rarely feel informed about whether hotels are truly eco-friendly – and 13% say they never do.
“Green initiatives are an increasing priority for hospitality businesses that are trying to reduce their environmental footprint”

Current Approach Flawed & Failing
• BG & DIP fundamentally different instruments
• Too Complex
• Single market approach makes it less viable to insurers
• No spread
• Concentrated risk
• Limited volume
• Little or no growth

Bank Guarantee safer than insurance?•Bank Failures in USA – 2008-2012 (FDIC & Weiss Rating)
•301 with over USD1B in assets!
•USD677B in assets!
•Banks – low reserves ; Ins- 115%+
Two Telling Quotes:
•“Most insurance companies are smaller, sounder and safer than most banks…” – and
•“Unlike banks, they also tend to become more financially stable the bigger they get since the risks run by individual policyholders are not correlated.”

Cut Through Agreement
•No local responsibility (no retention)
•Ultimate Guarantor no relationship with
IATA – approval process local.
•Collect claim where?
•What procedures apply?
•Who makes this call?

A Way Forward•Consult – prior to taking action
•Risk Assessment & Management – What is assessment process? Avoid BIGGER is better mind-set
•Think beyond borders
•Transparent & Partnership role
•Keep it Simple – new P&S?
•3.5 to 9 pages
•15 vs 3 definitions! (2 contrary to R866)
•One-size-does-not-fit-all
•Timeliness (5 days)
•“Additional financial loss” – a deal breaker for insurers;
•If DIP in place of BG & covers same risk –why try to improve on terms?

Five Questions To Consider
1. If your financial review is satisfactory – why do you still need to provide a financial guarantee?
2. Why are you not in a DIP? Why is there no DIP in my country?
3. Do I know the PSAA, my rights and my country’s financial criteria (hint in your Travel Agent Handbook)?
4. Do you know how to contact your TAC?
5. Is it time for an UFTAA-wide DIP?
