The travel insurance and assistance company was awarded six gold and one silver trophy, recognizing the company’s travel advisor support, marketing campaigns, training programs, consumer and partner websites, social media and the Allyz® mobile app.

The Magellan Awards are a program of Travel Weekly, the travel industry’s most prestigious trade publication. With a record number of entries submitted from across the U.S. and around the world, the awards reflect the best in the travel industry and salute the outstanding travel professionals behind it all. In total, Allianz Partners has won 101 Magellan Awards, including 69 gold trophies, over the last 14 years.

Allianz Partners was recognized with gold trophies in the Travel Services category for its travel advisor support programs including its AllianzAdvantage.com website, its travel insurance specialist program and its marketing webinar.  Other gold trophies recognized the company’s direct to consumer website and direct to consumer marketing campaign.  The company’s social media program earned a silver trophy.

The Allyz® mobile app won a gold award in the Travel Services category in recognition of its value to consumers in providing a broad range of important resources for travelers.

“We are honored to be recognized across so many categories by the Magellan Awards,” said Begench Atayev, regional head of travel product management & innovation for Americas at Allianz Partners. “This achievement reflects our team’s dedication to delivering innovative solutions and outstanding service to our partners and customers.”

The Magellan Awards honor outstanding design, marketing and services in a broad range of industry segments including Hospitality, Travel Destinations, Cruise Lines, Online Travel Services, Airlines and Airports, Travel Agents and Agencies, Tour Operators and Ground Transportation.

"Each year, I think, 'This will be the year to remember' -- the year that creativity, innovation and inspiration in the entries of the Travel Weekly Magellan Awards has peaked,” said Arnie Weissmann, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly. “Yet this year – the 18th annual Travel Weekly Magellan Awards – has topped all that has come before. You must wonder: Can the bar get any higher?"

The Magellan Awards are judged and overseen by a one-of-a-kind panel of top travel professionals representing the best names and most accomplished leaders from the industry. In determining winners, entries do not compete with one another, instead they are judged against a standard of excellence based on the long experience of Travel Weekly. To uphold this high standard of excellence, a category may have multiple winners or may have no winners at all.
