When travel advisors feel confident discussing travel insurance, clients benefit. That’s a philosophy Oasis Travel Network has embraced for years, and the results speak for themselves.
Over the past two years, OTN has seen significant growth in travel insurance sales, with overall sales increasing 40% from 2024 to 2025 and another 40% growth currently trending year-to-date in 2026.
While those numbers are certainly worth celebrating, they are really the result of something much bigger: investing in advisor education, support, and confidence.
“Our goal has never been to simply increase insurance sales,” said Andria Fredrickson, Vice President of Insurance Operations & Advisor Acquisitions. “It’s about helping advisors feel comfortable and informed when discussing travel protection with their clients. When advisors have confidence in the products they’re offering, those conversations become much more natural and valuable.”
Travel insurance can be one of the most important parts of a client’s travel investment, but it can also be one of the most misunderstood. Coverage options vary, supplier requirements change, and advisors are often faced with helping clients navigate complex situations and questions.
That’s where OTN’s insurance support program comes in.
Led by Andria Fredrickson, OTN has made insurance education a priority by providing advisors with ongoing resources, supplier training, and direct support when questions arise.
Throughout the year, OTN advisors have access to insurance overviews from preferred suppliers, quarterly updates from insurance partners, educational webinars, panel discussions, and personalized assistance when navigating client situations. This hands-on approach helps advisors better understand the products available to them and gives them the confidence to have meaningful conversations with their clients about protecting their travel investment.
“Having Andria on the OTN team has truly been a game changer for my business,” said Rachel Johnson, owner of Singletree Travel. “She is incredibly knowledgeable about the products and always willing to help. I know OTN is constantly evaluating the insurance landscape and partnering with companies that will be there for our clients when they need them most. If a client ever needs additional assistance with a claim, Andria works directly with our supplier partners to help find a resolution. That level of support gives me confidence every time I recommend travel protection. Since 2020, travel insurance has become a core part of my business, and I know that’s largely because of the education, support, and resources OTN provides.”
The impact has been substantial.
One of OTN’s largest insurance partners experienced 156% year-over-year growth in 2025 and is currently tracking at 105% growth year-to-date in 2026. Across the network, advisors continue to embrace travel protection as an important part of serving their clients.
“One of the things that sets OTN apart is our commitment to helping advisors succeed beyond just selling travel,” said Lee Smolinski, CEO of Oasis Travel Network. “The growth we’re seeing in insurance is a direct result of Andria’s dedication, our supplier partnerships, and advisors who truly care about protecting their clients. When we invest in educating and supporting our advisors, everyone benefits, from the advisor to the traveler.”
For OTN, however, the success isn’t measured solely by sales growth.
It’s measured by advisors feeling supported, clients traveling with greater peace of mind, and a community that understands the value of protecting the experiences travelers work so hard to create.
As the travel industry continues to evolve, Oasis Travel Network remains committed to providing the education, tools, and support advisors need to grow their businesses while delivering exceptional service to their clients. The growth in insurance sales is simply a reflection of what happens when advisors are empowered with the right resources and a strong support system behind them.
