Qatar and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region insurer Qatar Insurance Company (QIC) was named “Best Travel Insurance Company in The Middle East” for the second year running at the 2024 Global Banking & Finance Review Awards.
The award recognises QIC's leadership in transforming travel insurance with its digital tools and customer service that benefits both departing and arriving travellers.
QIC has launched several products over the past few months, including an online service for acquiring mandatory health insurance for Qatar visitors. The insurer said the initiatives have dramatically decreased the time it takes to secure a policy, with transactions now completed in under two minutes through qic.online.
QIC Group CEO Salem Al Mannai said the repeated recognition confirms the company’s commitment to enhancing travel insurance on a regional scale.
“Winning this award for the second year in a row is a strong testament to our continuous success in taking travel insurance to higher levels region-wide, offering travellers the best cover and the most convenient digital services,” he said. “QIC has proudly been the preferred insurer in Qatar and beyond since 1964.
“Our presence in regional markets since then has allowed us to build a unique understanding of the ever-changing needs of travellers to and from the MENA region, and to keep exceeding the expectations of customers through innovative insurance products, customer-centric services, and the most convenient digital solutions.”
Last month, QIC launched an edutainment branch at KidzMondo Doha to introduce children to the insurance industry’s various components.
