Understanding Travel Insurance: The Basics
For decades, travel insurance has operated on a "wait and see" model. You experience a crisis, you pay out of pocket, you collect a mountain of receipts, and you wait weeks-sometimes months-for a reimbursement check.
In the modern world, travelers are no longer willing to wait. The demand for real-time compensation is skyrocketing, and the industry is on the verge of a massive shift toward automation.
The African Reality: The Compensation Gap
While the global travel industry has made strides, the African market remains a challenging frontier for passenger rights. Regional flight networks across the continent are notorious for delays, "technical hitches," and sudden cancellations.
In Europe or North America, regulations like EU261 provide a clear framework for compensation. In many parts of Africa, however, travelers are often left stranded with little more than a "sorry" from the airline.
Whether it’s a missed connection in Nairobi or a 12-hour delay in Lagos, the financial and emotional burden falls squarely on the traveler.
When regional flights fail, the lack of immediate support creates a ripple effect: missed business meetings, lost hotel bookings, and stranded families.
Why Real-Time is the Only Way Forward
The modern traveler is digitally connected. If an airline cancels a flight, the traveler knows instantly. They expect their insurance provider to be just as fast. The future of the industry lies in Parametric Insurance-products that trigger automatically based on verified data (like flight tracking) rather than manual claims.
