SureSave transforms PDSTRAVEL insurer SureSave has

this morning formally launched a new Product Disclosure Statement, which the NIB-owned business claims is “set to revolutionise the industry”.

The new PDS describes policy cover in terms of ‘events’ that can happen to travellers before or during their trip, “breaking down otherwise complicated policies into a simple and easy guide to travel insurance, using clear visuals,” said SureSave national sales director, Talbot Henry.

“For added convenience SureSave’s PDS has more new features such as a redefined medical cover, where customers with existing medical conditions can apply for and receive cover.”

The new SureSave policy allows customers to start with essentials

and add on optional extras, with Comprehensive and Basic plans available for international pax, along with plans for domestic and annual frequent travellers.

All policies provide 24 hour emergency assistance and a travel safety app, and the insurance is now available to Australian permanent residents, NZ passport holders and 457 visa holders.

Henry invited agents to engage with SureSave and see for themselves how different the new policy is.

“Our research shows that travellers trust the advice of agents more than ever before, so the role of the agent is crucial when selecting the right policy”.

Crown ‘solid performance’CROWN Resorts this morning

revealed its profit results for 2015/16, with the reported net profit after tax down 11.8% to $393.6m before taking into account extraordinary items.

While the majority of the company’s revenue relates to gaming, hospitality was also a key contributor, with the three Crown Melbourne hotels combined reporting $452.7 million in non-casino revenue.

Occupancy at the flagship Crown Towers Melbourne property was a healthy 97.1%, while Crown Metropol achieved a 92.4% occupancy and Crown Promenade’s occupancy was 93.6%, reflecting the “very strong demand for luxury hotel accommodation in Melbourne”.

Crown is currently planning a new ‘six-star’ hotel in Melbourne in partnership with the Schiavello Group (TD 12 Dec 14), which is

subject to a planning application.The firm’s Perth hotels were

also full over 90% of the time.Legal action continues to

overshadow the Crown Sydney project, which has been approved but has had the decision of the NSW Planning Assessment Commission challenged.

Crown said it would “defend these proceedings vigorously”.

Hotel data breachPAYMENT card data from tens

of thousands of food, drink and other transactions may have been implicated in a data breach which effected 20 US hotels operated by HEI Hotels & Resorts for Starwood, Marriott, Hyatt and Intercontinental.

HEI spokesman Chris Daly said the malware was discovered in early to mid Jun on payment systems used at restaurants, bars, spas, lobby shops and other facilities at the properties.

He said it was difficult to ascertain exactly how many customers were affected because they may have used their cards multiple times.

Outside experts investigated the breach and found that customer names, account numbers, payment card expiration dates and verification codes may have been stolen by the hackers, reported Reuters.

It follows similar data breaches at Hyatt Hotels and Starwood in recent months.
