(Lebanon, NH – October 29, 2025) Travel Weekly, the most influential B2B travel industry news resource, awarded Global Rescue two 2025 Magellan Awards. Global Rescue is the world’s leading provider of medical, security, evacuation and travel risk management services. The awards recognized its travel service solutions. 

“With hundreds of entries from across the U.S. and around the world, the Magellan Award winners represent the best in the travel industry and salute the outstanding travel professionals behind it all. Each year, I think, ‘This will be the year to remember’ — the year that creativity, innovation and inspiration in the entries of the Travel Weekly Magellan Awards has peaked. Yet this year has topped all that has come before,” said Arnie Weissmann, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly.

Magellan Gold was awarded to Global Rescue in the Travel Services Education/Training category for its Automated Partner Onboarding Campaign. “Global Rescue’s automated onboarding campaign transformed how new partners are trained, supported and activated. It replaced manual processes with a scalable, data-driven system. The result: higher engagement, improved retention and an increase in new partner growth,” said Samantha Hosking, the director of partner channel marketing. “By combining automation with intentional human touchpoints, Global Rescue has delivered a scalable, high-impact training solution. This approach elevates partner performance and internal efficiency alike,” she added.

Judges selected Global Rescue for a Silver Magellan Award in the Travel Services Marketing TV Commercial category. “In a world of fragmented media consumption, reaching our audience with the right message at the right moment required bold changes,” said Wil Klass, director of paid marketing. The “Global Rescue Protects You” [VIDEO] campaign marked a strategic shift into Connected TV (CTV) advertising. “Designed to reach high-intent travelers through on-demand streaming platforms, this campaign both looked good and performed well. It proved measurable success, driving revenue growth, expanding market presence and setting a new standard for how travel protection services engage modern audiences,” he added.

“It’s an honor to have our work recognized with two 2025 Magellan Awards. These awards celebrate innovation and excellence in travel services,” said Michael Holmes, vice president at Global Rescue. “These awards reflect our commitment to helping travelers explore the world with confidence, whether for adventure, leisure or business. Our global network of well-trained partners plays a vital role in every travel experience. Together, we empower people to travel boldly and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing Global Rescue will be there whenever and wherever they need us,” he added.
