Insurance Industry getting a piece of the 2010 cake - 21 Sep 2009 14:54
Safety comes first in the case of our hospitality towards our visitors during the 2010 world cup. Many of these visitors will come from countries where it is more common to make claims for personal injury, so insurance companies warn the tourism industry to take the necessary measures to avoid such claims.
South Africa’s personal injury claims are said to be smaller compared to those of the United States for example. The direct costs for a simple slipping accident in the United States could cost the insurer up to R200 000 and R600 000 in South Africa.
The plans to have a safe visit for the soccer guest include every type of venue or area that will possibly accommodate tourists.
Elton Julies, speaking for AIG's Global Loss Control department that South Africa had the perfect chance to show the world that is cares about its visitors by taking all the necessary steps to prevent injuries.
