Online travel portal Bisnis Travel Indonesia (BTI) is teaming up with Zurich Indonesia, the local unit of a Switzerland-based insurance company, by including Zurich Indonesia’s travel insurance on BTI’s list of products.
Previously, BTI’s offered its members included airline tickets, hotel reservations and tour packages.
“Through the partnership with Zurich, we want to expand options for our members,” BTI’s president director Johan Kurniawan told reporters during the partnership signing ceremony in Jakarta on Thursday.
With the agreement, BTI’s portal will provide its members with three travel insurance products from Zurich Indonesia: Zurich Domestic Travel, Zurich Umrah/ Haj Travel and Zurich Passport.
BTI aims to sell up to 600 travel insurance policies through its portal this year, Johan added.
BTI is an online travel portal powered by Golden Rama Tours & Travel, a travel company established in Indonesia in 1971.
About 90 percent of the portal’s members are individual travel agents, while the rest are office-based travel agents.
