One of the hottest items of discussion during the 2004
Annual Convention in Reno was the growing uncertainty of travel worldwide.
From global terrorism, to the realignment of Eastern Europe and Asia, to
the on going changes in Africa and the Middle East, it was obvious a
problem was developing.
Realizing the issues of hunting in today's global
societies and it's commitment to being First For Hunters on a worldwide
basis, Safari Club International turned to it's 20 year relationship with
the Lechner & Stauffer Insurance Agency for a solution.
Lechner and Stauffer has engaged Allianz Global
Assistance (AGA Service Company) to offer travel insurance and protection.
Allianz Global Assistance is a unit of Allianz, one of the world’s largest
financial services and insurance companies. Allianz Global Assistance has
operations in 28 countries around the world, enabling them to provide
unparalleled emergency travel assistance to customers of leading travel
agencies, airlines, tour operators and other travel suppliers. Allianz
Global Assistance has tailored this exclusive program to include “hunting
specific” needs such as a destination government banning the hunting of
specific animals, or a destination governmental closure of a hunting
concession or reserve.
Next, SCI corporate sponsor Global Rescue was added to
the mix, creating the best travel protection
program on the market today. Hunters have their choice of purchasing a
medical evacuation membership from either MedjetAssist or Global Rescue.
Global Rescue also provides medical evacuation
services through a prepaid membership program and offers additional
benefits that no other worldwide evacuation service is capable of. First
and foremost for hunters is Global Rescue’s unique Field Rescue
capability. Global Rescue has teams of special operations personnel and
paramedics and networks of helicopters deployable anywhere to rescue their
members at the point of injury, transport them to an initial hospital for
stabilization, and then evacuate them back home via private, medically
equipped, CAMTS (Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems)
– accredited aircraft. Through an exclusive relationship with Johns
Hopkins Medicine, the nation’s top hospital, Global Rescue members are
provided with the expertise of some of the world’s finest physicians.
Transportation to the member’s home hospital of choice is provided at no
cost to any member who has a condition requiring hospitalization and is at
least 160 miles from home.
In addition to the rescue and evacuation services for
medical emergencies, Global Rescue is the only service to provide
evacuations for security related reasons, such as war, civil unrest, coup
d'état, or natural disasters. Utilizing the same military special forces
teams and helicopter and fixed wing air assets used for field rescues and
medical evacuations, Global Rescue will provide security evacuations for
members who have opted for their enhanced medical and security membership.
These services are available whenever there is an official government
declaration to evacuate the area or the member faces grievous bodily harm.
These security services are absolutely essential for hunters traveling to
areas where the potential for uprising, violence or natural disaster
becomes a concern.
The MedjetAssist plan, is a prepaid, air medical transportation program
created to provide affordable, high quality air ambulance service to it's
members. MedjetAssist transports members globally, to a hospital of their
choice, without regard to medical necessity or cost. Aircraft operated by
MedjetAssist's authorized affiliates operate as flying intensive care
units capable of carrying not only the critical care patient, but also a
family member along with a three or four person medical team. The teams
are trained in advance cardiac care and trauma life support, emergency and
critical care medicine at altitude, as well as pediatric and neonatal
care.
THIS IS THE SCI TRAVEL PROTECTION PLAN PROGRAM
Lechner & Stauffer, in it's continuing commitment to
assist and support the activities of SCI, will provide the professional
services necessary to host the program, while emphasizing the importance
of protecting the interests of Safari Club members anywhere in the world.
Safari Club International feels strongly that Trip
Cancellation Protection is no longer a luxury in the post 9/11 era, but
has become a necessary compliment associated with a well planned and
expertly managed hunt.
