Enhanced Tourist Safety in Thailand with TAGTHAi’s New Free Insurance Initiative

Tuesday, May 28, 2024

TAGTHAi has launched a new initiative in collaboration with Dhipaya Insurance to boost tourist safety in Thailand. By offering free accident insurance, “Dhipaya Takaful,” to users of the TAGTHAi Pass, the program aims to enhance the travel experience and ensure the well-being of visitors. This initiative is a key component of the “Safe Thailand” campaign and is aligned with efforts to stimulate tourism and support the national economy.

Tourists aged 20 to 70 who purchase the TAGTHAi Pass will automatically receive the “Dhipaya Takaful” accident insurance at no additional cost. The insurance provides round-the-clock coverage for the duration of the virtual travel card, which is valid from today until March 31, 2025, or until all policies have been claimed. This offer not only aims to attract a broader demographic of visitors but also underscores Thailand’s commitment to tourist safety.

Mrs. Thiratida Kuvantrarai, CEO of Thai Digital Platform Social Enterprise Co., Ltd., a national tourism platform service provider, “TAGTHAi”, said that it was a pleasure to join hands with Dhipaya Insurance to provide an accident insurance, “Dhipaya Takaful” to all tourists who purchase any types of TAGTHAi Pass for safe travel in Thailand. We hope that this collaboration could contribute to the quality and a positive image for Thai tourism.

“Accident insurance is significantly related to our lives because, in our daily lives, accidents can happen at any time, such as road accidents, car crashes, or slips and falls. Thus, having accident insurance coverage while traveling can reduce the risk of expenses and facilitates medical treatment, creating positive impression for tourists while traveling in Thailand.”

Dr. Pollarat Ekkayokkaya, Vice President of Sales and Marketing 2, of Dhipaya Insurance Public Company Limited, said that Dhipaya Insurance, with over 72 years of expertise, understands the needs of all groups of customer. So, we have designed “Dhipaya Takaful,” the first insurance policy in Thailand compliant with Islamic principles, to ensure comprehensive coverage for everyone. “This joining will enhance tourists’ confidence with the accident insurance, which has a maximum coverage of 70,000 Baht, covering medical expenses, death, disability compensation, and emergency transfer or body transportation costs. All tourists who utilize the TAGTHAi Pass will receive this coverage, and we hope that this benefit could enhance Thailand’s tourism industry.”

The accident insurance, specifically offered to tourists who purchase TAGTHAi Pass (totaling 2,500 insurance policies), is available to tourists of all nations and religions as it adheres to Islamic principles, similar to Halal food, which are foods that people from all religions and beliefs can consume.”

This strategic partnership between TAGTHAi and Dhipaya Insurance is part of the broader Government Tourism Stimulating Project. It seeks to draw tourists from various countries and religions, reinforcing Thailand’s position as a hospitable and safe destination. The initiative also plays a crucial role in driving economic growth through the tourism sector, promising a safer and more inviting travel environment for all visitors.
