Flexible cover for venues, guests and plans, developed for wellness retreats, workshops and small events. Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance, optional cancellation and supplier risk support; subject to terms, conditions and exclusions.

If you are organising two or more elements of a trip which are combined together to form a single event that you’re selling to clients or the general public you may incur other liabilities as you’ll be considered to be acting as a Tour Operator under UK law. 

Tour operator is probably not in your job description, but that’s why we’re here to help you meet your insurance obligations when arranging a trip, holiday or retreat for others. 

Benefits of a Standard Tour Operators Liability Policy

This policy will potentially meet liabilities you could incur for the “proper performance of a contract” and for actions of sub-contractors and or suppliers.

A standard Tour Operators Liability policy can provide the following sections of cover:

  • Professional Indemnity

    Cover protects you against claims for compensation by dissatisfied customers which results in legal liability, following any error and omission as the tour operator. Cover can extend to provide insurance for incorrect information in brochures and advertising material.

  • Employers Liability

    Covers your legal liability for injury to UK employees and volunteers that work for you, and includes the activities that are undertaken on your behalf. Cover can apply for temporary work abroad.

  • Public Liability & Products Liability

    Cover for legal liability through acts of negligent resulting in injury to third party persons and / or damage to their property for events such as food poisoning, provision of transportation services etc. 

    Consider the range of work you do, what contractual and legal requirements do you have? The limits of liability are optional and based upon your requirements. Common policy limits range from £1m to £10m. 

    Any Insurer that we approach will have a dedicated Claims Team that will be able to assist you in a crisis.

Optional Additional Cover that can be considered and arranged:

  • Cancellation / Abandonment Cover

    Cover can include any expenses or lost revenue you may stand to lose if an event you have planned is cancelled, abandoned or postponed. Cover can be extended to include Public Liability, Employers Liability and even Equipment Insurance.

  • Group Travel Insurance

    Cover for medical expenses, trip cancellation, lost luggage etc. whilst travelling outside the UK for personal and / or business reasons.
