BeSafe Rate is the must-have insurance rate for the hospitality industry that tackles the problem of cancelled bookings. BeSafe Rate allows tourism operators to sell stays and/or trips with insurance included in the cost of the booking, directly from their website, travel packages, and in hotels. The insurance included in the rate protects the traveller at no additional cost, guaranteeing him a refund in the event of cancellation and assistance in the event of unforeseen events, while at the same time ensuring revenue for the tourism operator who, once cashed in, will not have to deal with any claims for refunds. BeSafe Rate is therefore an opportunity to earn money and a great marketing tool able to boost direct sales, facilitating pre-paid bookings and guaranteeing a secure and early collection.
