EFR Corporate Travel, a leading UK Travel Management Company (TMC), is excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership with World Travel Protection, a global leader in travel risk management. This landmark deal makes EFR the first UK-based TMC to recommend and offer World Travel Protection’s solutions to its clients, elevating traveller safety and security. EFR Corporate Travel will now be able to offer clients World Travel Protection’s comprehensive travel risk solutions—including real-time alerts, medical assistance, and 24/7 live crisis response. This collaboration positions EFR Corporate Travel at the forefront of travel safety, enhancing the confidence of business travellers.

Salv Silvera, Chief Commercial Officer of EFR Corporate Travel, stated: “We are proud to partner with World Travel Protection, a company that shares our vision for enhancing the business travel experience for the small to medium size market. In today’s unpredictable travel environment, managing risks is essential, and our clients will now have access to world-class safety and security through World Travel Protection.”

Kent Hendricks, Strategic Business Director at World Travel Protection, remarked: “This partnership with EFR Corporate Travel marks our first UK TMC collaboration, and we are thrilled to offer their clients the highest level of travel risk management. Together, we’re redefining how travellers can feel secure and supported on every journey.”

Travel risk management is not just about responding to major crises like military coups or medical evacuations from remote regions. It’s about proactively protecting travellers by briefing them on potential risks before they embark on their journeys to minimise their exposure to risk.

Hendricks said:“Whether it’s providing safety tips for LGBTQI+ travellers navigating less tolerant countries or helping rebook accommodations during unexpected events like the recent CrowdStrike IT outage, companies like World Travel Protection are keeping travellers informed and prepared. With over 250,000 travellers relying on these protections in busy months, World Travel Protection is at the forefront of this new wave of travel risk management. Businesses are increasingly recognising that safeguarding their travellers is not just about reacting to problems, but about preparing and protecting them before they arise.”
