Why Tourism Businesses Need Insurance
Tourism business insurance should reflect the activities you run, the people you host and the locations where your team operates. For many tourism operators, this means reviewing liability, property, vehicle, cyber and workers compensation exposures together.
If you run a tour guide business and you don’t have tourist bus insurance, you could be liable if you have an accident. Any tourism operator, especially one involving higher-risk activities, could quickly find their dream turned into a nightmare without adventure tourism insurance.
That’s why Adroit provides tourism businesses across all risk categories with risk management advice and insurance solutions designed to enhance safety for their business and clients.
Common Risks Faced By Tourism Businesses
- Malpractice/negligence lawsuits
- Personal injury/illness
- Loss of income/business reputation
- Employee, customer or injury/illness to a member of the public
- Damage to commercial building/equipment/cars or other vehicles due to fire, flood, theft
What Insurances Do Tourism Businesses Need?
At Adroit, we’ve been delivering services and insurance solutions for tourism operators in Australia for many years, developing an in-depth understanding of the risks you’re faced with in the tourism industry.
Apart from CTP insurance for car registrations, tourism operators need the following cover:
This type of insurance can help protect your tourism business against claims relating to property damage or personal injury arising from your business activities. It may also provide cover if a client is injured by a product you supply or sell.
This insurance can help protect your business, building and contents, equipment and assets against certain unexpected events, such as fire, theft and storm damage. Management liability cover may also assist with claims of alleged or actual mismanagement of your tourism business.
Cyber insurance can help support your business in responding to cyber risks, including threats to your computer systems, networks, data, tourist and client information, and financial details.
In Australia, anyone operating any kind of small business or large company in any industry including tourism – in NSW even sole traders – must legally have this insurance.
Tourism operators may also need to consider activity-specific risk controls, waivers, staff training, vehicle use, seasonal operations and how claims would be managed if a guest is injured or property is damaged.
